The position also oversees and reviews account reconciliations and ensures timely and appropriate resolution of reconciling items. The Assistant Controller will review and maintain proper internal controls over subledgers such as student receivables, payroll, and accounts payable. Responsibilities include the production of monthly financial statements, accurate and timely posting of financial transactions to the university's general ledger, and coordination of the accounting systems procedures that ensure the timely and accurate recordkeeping for all transactions encompassing the university's financial activities. Under the direction of the Controller, the Assistant Controller is responsible for effective management of all aspects of accounting and financial reporting for the University. chrysogaster were lower than when an aquatic specialist attempts to move on land or a terrestrial specialist attempts to swim.Join a vibrant campus community whose excellence is reflected in its diversity and student success. West Chester University of Pennsylvania's Department of Finance and Business Services invites applications for the position of Assistant Controller. When compared with specialists at the extremes of the terrestrial-aquatic continuum, the energetic costs of locomoting either in water or on land were high for the semi-aquatic Hydromys chrysogaster. The lowest cost for running (2.08 J N-1 m-1) was 20 % lower than for swimming. The minimum cost of transport for swimming (2.61 J N-1 m-1) was equivalent to values for other semi-aquatic mammals. Over equivalent velocities, the metabolic rate for running was 13–40 % greater than for swimming. Metabolic rate increased linearly during running. Swimming metabolic rate increased with velocity in a pattern similar to the ‘humps’ and ‘hollows’ for wave drag experienced by bodies moving at the water surface.


Water rats were able to run at twice their maximum swimming velocity. Water rats swam at the surface using alternate pelvic paddling and locomoted on the treadmill using gaits that included walk, trot and half-bound. Aquatic locomotion was investigated as animals swam in a water flume at several speeds, whereas water rats were run on a treadmill to measure metabolic effort during terrestrial locomotion. To examine possible energetic constraints on semi-aquatic mammals, we compared rates of oxygen consumption for the Australian water rat (Hydromys chrysogaster) using different locomotor behaviors: swimming and running. Semi-aquatic mammals occupy a precarious evolutionary position, having to function in both aquatic and terrestrial environments without specializing in locomotor performance in either environment.
