Faculty Position in Evolutionary Ecology Department of Biological Sciences Purdue University
The Department of Biological Sciences invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Evolutionary Ecology. We seek candidates whose research integrates the fields of ecology and evolution with those of neuroscience, developmental biology, physiology, or comparative genomics. We expect to fill an academic-year appointment at the Assistant Professor level; however, appointment at a higher rank will be considered for qualified applicants.
The Department of Biological Sciences (http://www.bio.purdue.edu/) has over fifty faculty members directing research in a wide range of fields including bioinformatics, neurobiology, molecular, cellular and developmental biology, and ecology. Descriptions of research programs in the ecology area can be located at http://bilbo.bio.purdue.edu/www-ecology/index.html. In addition to several faculty positions anticipated for the Department, the College of Science at Purdue is hiring faculty in interdisciplinary areas that span multiple departments, including Biological Sciences (http://www.science.purdue.edu/hiring/). Faculty across campus with ecological interests can be found at http://www.purdue.edu/pices/index.htm.
The successful Evolutionary Ecologist applicant must have a Ph.D. or equivalent in an appropriate discipline; postdoctoral experience is strongly preferred. Applicants are expected to develop a well-funded research program and to be committed to excellence in undergraduate- and graduate-level teaching. Applications must be submitted electronically to the College of Science and should include a detailed curriculum vitae, the names and addresses of three referees, a summary of the candidate’s research interests, and a one-page teaching statement. Inquiries should be directed to Prof. Jeffrey Lucas, Chair, Evolutionary Ecology Search Committee, Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University, 915 W. State St., West Lafayette, IN 47907-2054 (jlucas@purdue.edu). Review of applications will begin on October 15, 2007, and will continue until a suitable pool of applicants had been identified.
