The Wildland Resources Department and the Ecology Center at Utah State
University invite applications for a nine-month 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, see
