The Department of Biological Sciences at Texas Tech University seeks
applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professorship to begin in the
2013-2014 academic year.  We seek an outstanding scientist working on either

relationship of genes to structure and/or function (Ecological Genetics), or
the integration of both fields within a broad ecological and evolutionary
context.  Candidates using experimental, comparative, and/or genome-wide
approaches to major questions in any biological system are encouraged to
apply.  The successful candidate will be expected to supervise an
independent research program that will attract extramural funding, to
provide research training for graduate and undergraduate students, and to
teach in their area of specialty at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Texas Tech University is growing into one of the premier research
institutions in Texas, using support from Texas’ National Research
University Fund, and is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally
diverse faculty committed to teaching and working in a multicultural
environment.  The Department of Biological Sciences has historical strengths
in organismal biology, ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.  The
successful candidate will enjoy working in a collaborative, integrative and
supportive environment for scientific productivity and interaction.

Application materials should include curriculum vitae, three representative
publications, statements of research and teaching interests, and the names
and contact information for at least three references.  A PhD in the
