The Wildland Resources Department and the Ecology Center at Utah State
University invite applications for a tenure track faculty position in
Quantitative Ecology at the rank of Assistant Professor. The appointment
will be 50% research, 40% teaching, and 10% service. We seek an innovative
scholar with the statistical, mathematical and computational expertise to
address the ecological impacts of environmental change over large spatial
and temporal scales by interpolating, extrapolating, or projecting
observations made over the short-term or at the plot- and organism-level.
Quantitative techniques of interest to our faculty and students include
geostatistics of spatio-temporal processes, hierarchical and mixed models,
fitting dynamic models to empirical data, and machine learning approaches.
Preference will be given to candidates interested in collaborative and
interdisciplinary research using data ranging from individual demographic
observations to remotely-sensed landscapes. We encourage candidates with
experience in any taxonomic group, study system, and level of ecological
organization to apply, but we are especially interested in those keen to
develop research in the Intermountain West that will complement existing
research programs in the Quinney College of Natural Resources in population
and community ecology, wildlife ecology and management, environmental
assessment and monitoring, population genetics, and ecological forecasting.
Review of applications will begin September 11, 2017. For more information,
