<p>The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the
University of Michigan seeks applicants for three assistant professor
(tenure-track) positions in ecology. These are university-year
appointments with an expected start date of September 1, 2017.</p>
<p><strong>(1) Ecosystem Ecologist.</strong> We welcome applicants who
study ecosystem processes in any of the planet’s major ecosystems,
including aquatic, terrestrial, wild-land, managed, and urban
ecosystems. We are especially interested in individuals who include
field and experimental approaches in their research. Areas of interest
include, amongst others, biogeochemistry, carbon sequestration, and the
effects of environmental change on ecosystem pools and fluxes.</p>
<p><strong>(2) Population/Community Ecologist.</strong> We welcome
applicants who study processes in any ecosystem or habitat type,
including managed and urban systems. We also encourage individuals
interested in interdisciplinary research. Areas of interest include,
amongst others, mechanisms of population regulation; causes of species
extinctions; and maintenance of biodiversity, community structure and
ecosystem function under environmental change. Ideally, candidates will
have an empirical research program that bridges to ecological theory.</p>
<p><strong>(3) Theoretical Ecologist.</strong> We seek applicants who
bring cutting-edge theoretical, mathematical, and computational tools to
the study of ecological systems of any kind, including traditional
fields such as population dynamics and community assembly as well as
emerging subdisciplines such as urban ecology, macroecology, microbial
ecology, disease ecology, and eco-immunology. Applicants with inter- and
trans-disciplinary interests and who integrate theoretical development
with empirical tests, whether alone or in collaboration, are especially
encouraged to apply. This position will be a joint appointment with the
University of Michigan Center for the Study of Complex Systems.</p>
<p>For all three positions, we are especially interested in individuals
who will leverage the facilities available at the University of
Michigan, including world class biodiversity collections, a local field
research facility (the Edwin S. George Reserve), and a large educational
and research facility in northern Michigan (the University of Michigan
Biological Station).</p>
<p>Applications should include a cover letter, CV, a concise statement
describing their current and future plans for research, a statement of
their teaching philosophy and experience and evidence of teaching
excellence (if any), and a statement of activities contributing to
diversity, equity and inclusion in Academia. Applicants should also
include the names and email addresses of three references.</p>
<p>EEB is committed to fostering ethnic and gender diversity throughout
the department, and is especially interested in candidates contributing
to the diversity and excellence of our academic community through their
teaching, research, and/or service. To apply, please see <strong><a href="http://www.resources-eeb.lsa.umich.edu/search16/index.php">http://www.resources-eeb.lsa.umich.edu/search16/index.php</a></strong>. Review of applications will begin on <strong>September 1, 2016 </strong>(Ecosystem Ecologist), <strong>September 15, 2016</strong> (Population/Community Ecologist), and <strong>October 1, 2016</strong> (Theoretical Ecologist) and will continue until the positions are filled.</p>
