The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of New Orleans invites applications for two Endowed Chairs:
The Freeport-MacMoRan Endowed Chair in Conservation Biology, with a focus on the biology and conservation of terrestrial vertebrates. The Greater New Orleans Foundation Endowed Chair in Aquatic or Terrestrial Resource Conservation. Preference will be given to those candidates whose focus is on the biology and conservation of aquatic populations, communities, or landscapes. The two Chairs will assume leadership roles in the doctoral program in Conservation Biology within the Department of Biological Sciences. Chairs will teach in their areas of expertise, advise graduate and undergraduate students, and conduct dynamic and innovative research generating significant advances in basic biology and conservation of their study systems. The Department of Biological Sciences is currently planning to expand the Conservation Biology program. Over the next five years we anticipate additional hires at the level of Assistant Professor and new investment in departmental facilities. Candidates should have a distinguished record of publication and funding consistent with appointment at the rank of Professor, but exceptional candidates at the rank of Associate Professor will be considered.
