Assistant Professor in Ecosystem Ecology
The Department of Biology at the University of South Dakota is recruiting a
tenure-track faculty member at the Assistant Professor level in ecosystem
ecology. We seek candidates with interests in integrative and collaborative
research; candidates whose research explores ecosystem processes (e.g., food
web dynamics, energy flow, nutrient cycling, biogeochemistry, global change,
etc.) within large rivers, riparian systems, streams, or wetlands are
especially encouraged to apply. Excellent opportunities exist for research on
the Missouri River in collaboration with the Missouri River Institute and
affiliated faculty (http://www.usd.edu/mri). The USD Department of Biology is
housed in newly renovated office and research space that includes a DNA
sequencing facility, greenhouses and outdoor experimental space. Teaching
responsibilities include courses in the candidate's area of expertise and
possible participation in team-taught introductory biology. The successful
candidate is expected to establish a productive extramurally funded research
program and train M.S. and Ph.D. students. Position will begin August 2013. A
Ph.D. is required and postdoctoral experience is preferred.
Review of applications will begin November 15, 2012 and continue until the
