The Department of Biology at the flagship campus of the University of Hawai'i seeks three new faculty, two in developmental biology and one in marine biology, who will complement existing strengths of its faculty (see http://manoa.hawaii.edu/biology). Successful applicants will be expected to establish a vigorous extramurally funded research program, as well as teach and mentor undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral scholars.
Areas of interest for the developmental biology positions include, but are not limited to, the integration of evolutionary developmental biology with the fields of ecology, genomics, and/or epigenetics. Teaching expectations for these positions will include undergraduate developmental biology and graduate courses in the successful candidates' fields of study. For the marine biology position (pending approval), we seek applicants that use modern quantitative approaches in fields such as genomics or experimental ecology to understand patterns of diversity or speciation within natural populations of non-model marine organisms. Applicants with an organismal emphasis on the biology of corals or the ecology and evolution of other commensal/symbiotic systems are particularly encouraged, but all areas of research will be considered. Teaching expectations include leading one of two core courses in the new Marine Biology Graduate Program (www.hawaii.edu/mbiograd), and contributing to our Undergraduate Program in Marine Biology. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in biology or a related field, evidence of significant research accomplishments and a commitment to excellence in teaching. Desirable qualifications include relevant postdoctoral experience, extramural funding, and teaching experience. To apply, please prepare a single PDF document that includes: a cover letter indicating how you satisfy the minimum and desirable qualifications; statements of research and teaching experience/interests; detailed curriculum vitae; and three representative publications. Also arrange to have three letters of reference submitted electronically. Review of applications will begin February 14, 2014. Applications, letters of reference and inquiries for the developmental biology positions should be sent to [email protected], 808-956-4706. For complete job announcements, please refer to http://workatuh.hawaii.edu, Positions #84248 and #82208. Applications, letters of reference and inquiries for the marine biology position should be sent to [email protected].
