Application review begins September 7.
The Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology
<http://www.hawaii.edu/himb/>(HIMB) within the School of Ocean and Earth
Science and Technology <http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/> (SOEST) at the
University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa <http://manoa.hawaii.edu/>, invites
applications for three full-time, 11-month, tenure-track faculty
positions: one in marine mammal biology and two in marine ecology. The
positions are 75% research and 25% instruction, with rank of Assistant
Research Professor. Exceptional candidates may be considered at the
level of Associate Research Professor. The successful candidates will
be expected to develop an extramurally funded research program that
complements the expertise of our existing faculty, mentor graduate
students, and contribute to instructional initiatives. The level of
state support will be equivalent to nine (9) months per year. For the
marine mammal position, areas of interest include, but are not limited
to, life history, behavior, sensory biology, physiology, ecology,
evolution, and conservation. For the ecology positions, we invite
excellent applicants from any area of marine ecology, from organismal to
ecosystem scales, with a vision for integrative and collaborative
research. It is essential that applicants have a strong field component
to their research that takes advantage of HIMB’s unique location. The
instructional component of the position should be viewed broadly and
creatively; we encourage integrative and transformative contributions
that expand the educational role of HIMB and leverage its exceptional
setting and resources.Individual qualifications, academic excellence,
and collegiality, rather than specific research area, will be the
primary criteria in selecting the successful candidate. Minimum
qualifications: a PhD in biology, oceanography, zoology, ecology, or
related biological discipline, and a demonstrated capability for
creative, high-quality research and teaching. To apply, send a single
pdf that includes (1) cover letter describing your interest in and
qualifications for this position; (2) statement of research interests
and vision for research at HIMB; (3) statement of teaching philosophy
and plan to develop a novel program at HIMB; (4) a detailed curriculum
vitae; (5) three key publications; (6) names and contact information of
three persons from whom recommendations may be sought.
