> The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Science at the University of Nevada, Reno seeks to hire a tenure-track faculty member working in the area of ecohydrology at the Assistant or Associate Professor level (rank commensurate with qualifications). We seek an ecohydrologist who will maintain a productive research program focused on plant-water-human interactions in dryland systems, with potential research foci related to plant water use and water demand at the basin-scale, surface-groundwater interactions and wetland hydrology, or ecophysiology and drought response of dryland ecosystems.  Candidates that address research questions by combining field or remote sensing observations with modeling are particularly encouraged to apply.  The candidate is expected to develop a robust, collaborative, and externally-funded research program that helps to meet the land grant mission of the University.  Preferred candidates will enrich ongoing research foci within the department and elsewhere on campus, including mountain and groundwater hydrology, water conservation and management, forest and rangeland ecology, wildlife population dynamics, soil science, and fate and transport of environmental contaminants. UNR’s location at the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada and the western edge of the Great Basin provides an unparalleled opportunity to study ecohydrology across diverse ecosystem types and hydrological gradients.

> NRES is a multi-disciplinary department offering programs in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, Environmental Science, Forest Management and Ecology, and Ecohydrology.  The Department currently has 20 full-time faculty and will conduct searches for 3 - 5 tenure-track faculty positions within the next two years.  Departmental faculty are engaged in basic and applied interdisciplinary research programs that address local, national, and international issues, and collaborate with a broad spectrum of agency and community partners.  Faculty are committed to high quality education programs that prepare students for natural resource careers or graduate school.  NRES has experienced recent increases in undergraduate enrollment (70% increase from 2012-2016 >450 undergraduates).  In addition to its departmental MS graduate program, NRES faculty participate in three interdisciplinary graduate programs and support an average of 35 MS and 25 PhD students per academic year.  NRES receives an average $3 million in research awards per year.  There are multiple field sites in the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin that are ideal for research and teaching, including UNR’s Whittell Forest, UC Berkeley’s Sagehen Creek Field Station and the Porter Canyon Experimental Watershed, among other locations.
