The School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources is seeking applicants for a
tenure-track Fish Biologist at the rank of Assistant Professor. This 12-
month position shall have appointments in teaching and research and is
expected to lead and coordinate a nationally-recognized research and
education program in applied fish biology (genetics or physiology).
We seek candidates who use genetics or physiological approaches to address
applied and basic ecological questions in fisheries management, aquatic
ecology, and fisheries population biology. The successful candidate will be
expected to contribute to the undergraduate and graduate programs of the
School of Natural Resources and develop a research program that complements
existing strengths of the Applied Ecology faculty in the School of Natural
Resources.
This position will support curriculum development, teaching, and evaluating
student outcomes for 2-3 undergraduate/graduate courses per year that build
the biological (genetics or physiology) capacity of the Fisheries and
Wildlife major and the Applied Ecology graduate specialization. Specific
course assignments may be changed over time based on Academic Unit need.
We are pleased to offer this as one of four positions in Applied Ecology to
be hired in 2015-2016.
Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in a relevant field of study (e.g., fish
biology, genetics, aquatic ecology) at time of appointment, a strong record
of research and scholarly activities in the field of fish biology including
publications in peer-reviewed journals and evidence of development of
proposals for externally-funded grants, experience and demonstrated
commitment to excellence in teaching, and a proven ability to communicate
effectively with students, professionals, and the general public.
Preferred Qualifications: A minimum of two years of relevant postdoctoral
experience (or equivalent) addressing applied or basic questions related to
genetics or physiology of fish and other aquatic organisms, experience
working with resource management organizations (e.g., local, state,
federal), and experience as an instructor of a post-secondary course in fish
biology or similar.
