The George Washington University is accepting applications for a tenure-track
position in Marine
Ecology at the rank of Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences. We are
looking for a marine or
estuarine ecologist working at the ecosystem or community level. Organismal
emphasis is open, and
individuals with established research questions that would benefit from the
universitys proximity to the
Chesapeake Bay area are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful
candidate will be expected to
establish and maintain an externally funded research program that involves
undergraduate and graduate
students. Teaching responsibilities will include an undergraduate course in
Marine Biology (with a lab),
and a graduate course in biology in the Environmental Resource Policy Program.
Office and laboratory space will be located in the GWU Science and Engineering
Hall that opened in
January 2015 (http://seh.gwu.edu/about-science-and-engineering-hall). The
Department of Biological
Sciences offers a wide range of opportunities for collaboration, including a
newly expanded ecology
group, existing labs working on a range of questions with marine and fresh
water organisms, and
interaction with the newly created Computational Biology Institute. For further
information, please go to
http://biology.columbian.gwu.edu. Our location in Washington, D.C. also offers
excellent opportunities
for collaboration through access to the Smithsonian Institution, including the
Smithsonian Environmental
Research Center on the Chesapeake Bay, and a consortium of DC-area universities.
Required Qualifications: Applicants must have a PhD in an appropriate
discipline, postdoctoral
experience, and research accomplishments as demonstrated by peer-reviewed
