[ES_JOBS_NET] Univ. of Washington - Two Faculty Positions: One in Oceanography and One in School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences

[Monick Keo]

*TWO FACULTY POSITIONS: ONE IN OCEANOGRAPHY AND ONE IN AQUATIC AND FISHERY
SCIENCES*

The College of the Environment at the University of Washington (
http://coenv.uw.edu) invites applications for two new tenure-track
assistant professor positions, as part of its continuing commitment to
research and education on Earth’s polar regions through the Future of Ice
Initiative (http://ice.uw.edu).  This campus-wide initiative focuses on
developing partnerships with diverse stakeholders in the polar regions,
where the triple challenges of climate change, new economic pressures, and
rapid social and political disruption intersect.  Descriptions of the new
positions, one in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences and one in the
School of Oceanography, are given below.  University of Washington faculty
engage in teaching, research and service.

The successful candidates are expected to enhance the University of
Washington’s multidisciplinary research in polar science, develop an
externally funded research program, mentor the next generation of
scientists, and contribute to rigorous edaucation serving an increasingly
diverse student population at the graduate and undergraduate levels.  The
University of Washington promotes diversity and inclusivity among our
students, faculty, staff, and public; for each of these faculty positions,
we seek applicants who are committed to these principles.
 ------------------------------

*ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN THE SCHOOL OF AQUATIC AND
FISHERY SCIENCES (SAFS)*

We seek to hire an integrative scientist who will advance our understanding
of ecological processes and ongoing changes in high-latitude (polar or
subpolar) marine or freshwater ecosystems.  We seek an ecologist whose
research focuses on basic and/or applied questions and may include, but is
not limited to, high latitude fisheries or broader ecosystem studies across
multiple trophic levels from zooplankton to seabirds and marine mammals.
 Applicants should describe how their research and teaching will enhance
collaborative linkages within the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences
and among other partners in the Future of Ice Initiative.  Questions
pertaining to this search can be addressed to Dr. Gordon Holtgrieve, Search
Committee member (gholt at uw.edu) until 19 November and afterwards to Dr.
George Hunt, Search Committee Chair, (geohunt2 at uw.edu).  More information
on SAFS can be found at http://fish.washington.edu/

*ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, TENURE-TRACK POSITION IN THE SCHOOL OF OCEANOGRAPHY
(SO)*

We seek to hire an integrative scientist who will contribute to an
understanding of biological processes and ongoing changes in high-latitude
(polar or subpolar) marine ecosystems.  We are interested particularly,
though not exclusively, in candidates whose research focuses on the
physiology, ecology or biogeography of lower trophic levels.  Research
approaches may include field observations, remote sensing, laboratory
experimentation, genomics and bioinformatics, or modeling.  Applicants
should describe how their research and teaching will enhance collaborative
linkages between disciplines within the School of Oceanography and among
other partners in the Future of Ice Initiative.  Questions pertaining to
this search can be addressed to Dr. Jody Deming, Search Committee Chair, (
jdeming at uw.edu).  More information on the School of Oceanography can be
found athttp://ocean.washington.edu.
