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 <http://www.bio.fsu.edu/ee/>http://www.bio.fsu.edu/ee/. Questions about the position may be directed to <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected].

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.
