<div> </div><div><font color="#990000">Department of Earth and Environmental Science</font></div><div> </div><div><strong>Tenure-track Assistant Professor in evolution</strong><br><br> The School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania seeks to add to the faculty of our newly formed Evolution Cluster. We invite applicants for a tenure-track assistant professor appointment in evolution, broadly interpreted. We are interested in exceptional scientists who will establish a research program to empirically study the evolution of dynamical processes using field or laboratory experiments or the construction and analysis of massive data sets. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: the evolution of neural, social, ecological or linguistic dynamics and networks; evolution of early life or exobiology; biochemical, neuronal, or cooperative interactions and exchange of information at the molecular, cellular, human, or ecosystems scales; directed evolution of organisms or processes; analyzing extant structures and networks, from molecules to populations, along with their evolutionary trajectories, including the development of new modalities to extract data from the geologic, genetic, or linguistic historical records. The successful candidate's primary appointment will be in a single department in the natural sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental Science, Linguistics, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, or Psychology. Secondary appointments in other departments can be arranged, as appropriate. The successful candidate will have a strong interest in building a program that generates interaction with researchers from other disciplines who are working within the overarching theme of evolution and will teach courses in his or her home department and participate in the development of curricula pertinent to the Evolution Cluster (See <a href="http://evolutioncluster.sas.upenn.edu/" target="_blank"><font color="#0066cc">http://evolutioncluster.sas.</font><font color="#0066cc">upenn.edu</font></a> for more information). The University of Pennsylvania is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and is strongly committed to establishing a diverse faculty: <a href="http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/volumes/v58/n02/diversityplan.html" target="_blank"><font color="#0066cc">http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/</font><font color="#0066cc">volumes/v58/n02/diversityplan.</font><font color="#0066cc">html</font></a>. Applications should be submitted on-line at <a href="http://facultysearches.provost.upenn.edu/postings/23" target="_blank"><font color="#0066cc">http://facultysearches.</font><font color="#0066cc">provost.upenn.edu/postings/23</font></a> and include a curriculum vitae, a research statement that includes the candidate's perspective on how she or he fits into one of the core departments, links to no more than three journal publications, and the contact information for three individuals who will provide letters of recommendation. Review of applications will begin 1 November 2013 and will continue until the position is filled.<strong></strong><br clear="all">
