The Department of Biology at the College of William and Mary seeks applications for a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level in Integrative Aquatic Ecology. We are interested in individuals with research and teaching expertise in communities and/or freshwater systems, but we are open to applicants in any field of aquatic ecology that contributes to existing departmental strengths in molecular, behavioral, and ecological/evolutionary biology. The successful candidate is expected to maintain an externally funded research program involving both undergraduate and master’s degree students. Teaching is valued equally with research, and may include an upper-level aquatic ecology course with lab, another course in the candidate’s area of expertise, and contributions to the introductory or integrative biology sequences. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Aquatic Ecology or a related field at the time of the appointment (10 August 2016). Postdoctoral research experience is required, and previous experience teaching undergraduate courses will be viewed favorably. Candidates must apply online (https://jobs.wm.edu/postings/22156). To apply, submit curriculum vitae, a cover letter including statements of research and teaching interests, up to three representative publications and a list of courses taken/taught relevant to aquatic ecology. You will be prompted to submit online the names and email addresses of three references who will be contacted with instructions for how to submit a letter of reference. For full consideration, submit application materials by the review date, 22 October 2015. Applications received after the review date will be considered if needed. The College of William & Mary values diversity and invites applications from underrepresented groups who will enrich the research, teaching and service missions of the university. The College is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and conducts background checks on applicants for employment.
