The Department of Biological Sciences, Michigan Technological
University, invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor
in Aquatic Ecology to support the department’s undergraduate and
graduate programs. Specific areas of expertise are flexible but,
applicants could have backgrounds in, for example, food web interactions
and ecosystem dynamics, global environmental change, evolutionary
studies, land-water interface investigations, fish/aquatic
invertebrates, or disease/parasite studies.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Ecology or related field. They will be
expected to establish a vigorous, externally funded research program to
complement our growing doctoral program. Candidates will be strongly
committed to undergraduate and graduate education in their areas of
expertise.
Biological Sciences is housed in the award-winning Dow Environmental
Sciences and Engineering Building, and in a new Great Lakes Research
Laboratory that is being built on our waterfront on Portage Lake with
access to Lake Superior. Additional information about the Department and
its programs, Great Lakes research or biotechnology can be found at
website: http://www.bio.mtu.edu. Michigan Tech is located in Michigan’s
rural Upper Peninsula with convenient access to an abundance of lakes,
streams, and wetlands, as well as exceptional outdoor recreational
opportunities.
Please arrange to send a Curriculum vitae, statement of research and
