The Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences (DOCS) within the
College of the Coast and the Environment at Louisiana State University
(LSU) is seeking outstanding applicants to fill up to three (3) tenure-
track faculty positions. Successful candidates must possess a Ph.D. within
their discipline and a strong record of research accomplishments and
publications, or the capacity to build the same in the case of emerging
scholars. A history or potential to attract extramural funding and to work
with interdisciplinary teams that include doctoral students, post-docs, and
research associates is expected. An individual candidate may apply for a
position in one or more of the three core areas listed below:
Fisheries Stock Assessment Scientist (Assistant or Associate Professor):
Seeking candidates from the fisheries sciences including expertise in stock
assessment, computational ecology, population dynamics modeling,
quantitative fisheries science, mathematics, and/or statistics. A
successful candidate will be expected to use quantitative approaches to
study fish population dynamics and to advance the science of fisheries
stock assessment. He/she must be capable of teaching/developing a course in
stock assessment in support of the Graduate Certificate in Fisheries
Science and Assessment offered by DOCS and the LSU Graduate School.
Ecological Modeler (Assistant Professor):
Seeking candidates that use mathematical and simulation methods for
understanding and predicting population, multispecies, community, and food
web dynamics, including classical and agent-based approaches. We encourage
applications from those who combine modeling and empirical research that
may extend to coastal, estuarine, and/or marine fish population ecology and
trophic dynamics.
Ecologist (Assistant Professor):
Seeking candidates from academic backgrounds in ecology, including, but not
limited to feeding relationships, environmental drivers, resource supply
and demand and population, community and ecosystem level processes.
Candidates who conduct empirical research related to spatial management,
coastal, estuarine or marine trophic dynamics at spatial scales ranging
from estuaries to the deep ocean are encouraged to apply.
Duties of the positions include developing and maintaining a rigorous,
externally-funded research program in the related area of discipline;
teaching courses in a relevant area of specialty and courses based on
departmental needs; collaborating on multidisciplinary research projects;
mentoring graduate and undergraduate students and providing service to
DOCS, LSU, and the State of Louisiana.
Minimum Qualifications:
Ph.D. in science field.
Preferred Qualifications:
Ph.D. in fishery science, quantitative ecology, marine science, or related
field
Postdoctoral experience is encouraged.
Please provide three professional references including name, title, phone
number and e-mail address. Attach a Statement of Research and Statement of
Teaching on your application.
Applications will be reviewed as they arrive, those that arrived before
March 31 will get full consideration.
