Ecological or Evolutionary Theory
The Florida State University Department of Biological Science invites
applications for a tenure-track faculty position, at the assistant
professor level. We seek a creative and interactive individual using
theory to answer basic questions in ecology, evolution, or the
interface of these fields, and whose research will enhance existing
strengths in our Ecology and Evolution research group. Candidates
should demonstrate high potential for collaborations with
empiricists, externally-funded research, and engaging instruction at
both graduate and undergraduate levels. Applicants whose work
combines theoretical and empirical approaches are welcome to apply,
however priority will be given to those with a primary emphasis on
theory. Anticipated start date is fall 2014. More information about
the E&E group and department can be found at

Please submit an electronic application as a single PDF document
containing a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and statements of
research and teaching interests to <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected],
Job ID 36276, and request three letters of reference to be sent to
the same address. Applications must be received by Nov 01, 2013. FSU
is an Equal Opportunity/Access/Affirmative Action Employer committed
to enhancing the diversity of its faculty and students. Individuals
from traditionally underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
This search coincides with an expansion of faculty at FSU, including
a new hiring initiative in coastal and marine processes. The Florida
State University Department of Biological Science
(<http://www.bio.fsu.edu>http://www.bio.fsu.edu) is an integrated
group of over 40 faculty in the areas of Cell and Molecular Biology,
Ecology and Evolution, and Neuroscience, dedicated to excellence in
research and teaching. The University is located in Tallahassee, the
capital city of Florida and located in the Big Bend region of the
state, an area with diverse and relatively undeveloped habitats. The
Tallahassee area hosts a rich program in the performing arts and
athletic events and is close to several state parks, rivers, a
National Wildlife Refuge, and the pristine beaches of the Gulf of
Mexico. The Big Bend region is a biological diversity hotspot and
provides ample access to research sites and outdoor recreational opportunities.
