In support of ECU's strategic emphasis in coastal research, we seek applications from all highly creative and integrative scholars working at the organismal, population, community, and/or ecosystem-scale estuarine processes. We are interested in individuals involved in the development and application of interdisciplinary methods, ecological principles, and analytical/mathematical techniques to address questions in applied ecology as well as ecological theory. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program that will build upon the University's strengths in estuarine, marine, and freshwater biology and ecology. The successful candidate's research program is expected to take advantage of the opportunities for collaboration and synergy across ECU's centers (e.g., Coastal Sciences Institute in Manteo NC), departments and colleges. The position responsibilities under the ICSP include a strong emphasis in funded research and teaching for the PhD program in Coastal Resources Management. Responsibilities under the Dept. of Biology include research and undergraduate teaching and graduate teaching at the master's and doctoral levels, as well as providing service to the university, community, and profession. The Department of Biology (www.ecu.edu/biology) and ICSP (www.ecu.edu/icsp) take pride in the diversity of our faculty, staff and students and strive to increase that diversity. We encourage applications and inquiries from members of groups underrepresented in the life sciences.
