Dear Colleague:
I call your attention to the enclosed description for a faculty position in “Community Ecology” for the Department of Biology in the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of California, Riverside. This position is being recruited at the Assistant Professor level. We are seeking candidates who develop an innovative empirical research program emphasizing the relationships between interacting species and their environment as part of the UCR 2020 Strategic Planning Vision in Renewable Nature: Environment, Energy, and Sustainable Development. Examples of research focus include (but are not limited to) community structure and assembly, consumer-resource dynamics, evolutionary ecology of communities, including ecological genetics, and responses of communities to stressors such as climate change and invasive species using an integrative array of techniques such as GIS, sensors, molecular biology and genomics/bioinformatics.
The candidate should have a strong field component to their research and expertise in advanced statistical techniques. The successful candidate will join a vibrant community of researchers in the Department of Biology, The Ecology, Evolution and Organismal Biology Graduate Program, the Center for Conservation Biology, the Center for Invasive Species Research, the Institute for Integrative Genome Biology, and have access to modern campus facilities in genomics/bioinformatics, proteomics, microscopy, stable isotope analysis, geographic information systems, ecological sensing technologies and a diverse range of field stations and facilities that collectively can accommodate research in all sub-disciplines of Community Ecology. The candidate is also expected to contribute to teaching in undergraduate and graduate programs in the Department of Biology. For additional information about the position, the UCR campus, the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, and the Department of Biology, visit our web sites (http://www.ucr.edu/; http://www.cnas.ucr.edu/; http://www.biology.ucr.edu/). The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
We would be most appreciative if you could call this announcement to the attention of any qualified individuals.
Sincerely,
Michael F. Allen (michael.allen@ucr.edu), Chair, Search Committee, Community Ecology
