Mathematical/Theoretical Ecologist The departments of Mathematics and of Zoology and Physiology at the University of Wyoming invite applications for a full-time, nine-month, tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor starting August 2009; exceptional candidates may be considered at a higher level. We seek a theoretical ecologist with a strong background in both mathematics and ecology. Minimum qualifications are an earned Ph.D. in mathematics, ecology or related areas, and evidence of excellence in teaching and research.
We expect the successful candidate to develop an externally funded research program, to collaborate with other ecologists and mathematicians at the University of Wyoming, to contribute to teaching undergraduate mathematics courses in the University's Life Sciences program, and to participate in the University's vigorous new interdepartmental graduate Program in Ecology. Strengths in the Department of Mathematics include combinatorics and graph theory, analysis and partial differential equation modeling, fluid dynamics, scientific computing, stochastic analysis and probability. The Department of Zoology and Physiology has strengths in evolutionary ecology, wildlife and fisheries ecology, neurophysiology, and comparative physiology. The successful candidate will receive a competitive start-up package. The University of Wyoming is located in a valley surrounded by magnificent mountains that offer outstanding opportunities for both recreation and ecological research. Interested applicants should submit their application, including curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, and electronic copies of up to three publications that represent their best work, through the website http://math.uwyo.edu/mathecol-position.asp. They should arrange for three letters of recommendation to also be submitted through this site, including at least one letter that addresses their teaching abilities and experience. Review of applications will begin December 1, 2008. The University of Wyoming is a Carnegie Foundation Research/Doctoral Extensive Institution and is an AA/EEO employer.
