The Wildland Resources Department and the Ecology Center at Utah State
University invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Animal
Population Ecology at the rank of Assistant Professor. The appointment will
be 50% research, 40% teaching, and 10% service. The appointed faculty member
will be expected to develop an externally funded research program that
achieves an international reputation for research and graduate training in
the field of wildlife population ecology. Skills and research areas of
particular interest to the Department include, but are not limited to:
Bayesian state-space and integrated population modelling; integral
projection modelling; survival estimation; multistate capture-recapture
modelling; matrix modelling; mark-recapture techniques; implications of
life-history evolution for population ecology including adaptation to
climate change; effects of disease, predation, and hunting on population
dynamics; etc. Fundamental to this position is working across disciplinary
and institutional boundaries and collaborating with federal and state
agencies. The appointed faculty member will mentor and advise graduate
students and post-doctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds, as well as
teach courses (potentially online) to undergraduate and graduate students
within the area of expertise. Review of applications will begin September
11, 2017. For more information, see
