** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED** Application Deadline: November 19, 2024
For details about the position and to apply: https://apply.interfolio.com/152962 The Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University in collaboration with the Turkana Basin Institute seeks to hire an Assistant Professor in the field of Drylands Ecology to begin Fall 2025. We invite applications from researchers working with plants, animals, or other biota at the organismal, population, community, or ecosystem level, including conservation biology. Research that seeks to understand drylands ecology in the context of anthropogenic climate change is a particular area of interest. We seek a candidate with the potential to augment or build upon one or more of the Department of Ecology & Evolution's current research strengths, while taking advantage of Stony Brook's unique relationship with the Turkana Basin Institute (TBI). The Turkana Basin, Kenya, is a premier site for the discovery and understanding of hominid and vertebrate evolution and the ecology and climatological context of these processes, and ongoing contributions make it one of the world's most significant scientific research areas. Candidates need not have a current research program in the Turkana Basin. The successful candidate must also have the clear potential to establish an internationally recognized, externally funded research program in drylands ecology. They will teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including contributing to field courses taught at the Turkana Basin, Kenya, generate external funding to support their research, perform research including developing a research program in the Turkana Basin, mentor undergraduate and graduate students, participate in departmental and university committees, and perform service to support the Department of Ecology and Evolution and the Turkana Basin Institute. For further information, visit the Ecology & Evolution Department website at https://www.stonybrook.edu/ecoevo/ or contact the Chair of Search Committee, Elizabeth Watson at elizabeth.b.wat...@stonybrook.edu.
