<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#303030">The Department of Biodiversity, Earth & Environmental Science at Drexel University seeks applicants for a tenure-track assistant or associate professor appointment in invertebrate paleontology.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, Systematic and Evolutionary Biology, Paleoecology, Climatology and Conservation Paleobiology, with the aim of deploying paleontological data to understand patterns of global change. The successful candidate
will develop a research program in their subject area; will teach courses in Invertebrate Paleontology and Stratigraphy, and other potential courses; and will be Curator of the Invertebrate Paleontology collection at Drexel’s Academy of Natural Sciences. The
ability to collaborate with other research groups at the university, such as Environmental Biogeochemistry and Environmental Engineering, is a plus. Drexel University emphasizes experiential learning and field-oriented candidates are encouraged to apply.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#303030">Philadelphia is located on the Fall Line between the Piedmont and Coastal Plain provinces and is one and a half hours from the Appalachian Mountains. The
Academy of Natural Sciences, founded in 1812, is the oldest natural history research institution in North America with 18 million collection objects and a 250,000 volume library. The invertebrate paleontology collection holds 1 million specimens, including
6,000 lots of type specimens, and 30,000 samples of well-cuttings from the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains. The department has field facilities at Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, and a glacial lake in northeastern Pennsylvania. Faculty in the department are engaged
in geological and paleontological research in the Delaware Estuary and region, the Appalachian Mountains, the Canadian Arctic, India, and Indonesia. Drexel University is a research institution ranked in the top 100 among all PhD granting universities according
to US News & World Report (2016). Located in the University City section of Philadelphia, Drexel sits along the Northeast rail corridor, providing easy access to New York and Washington.
