Ecosystem Ecologist Position at the University of North Texas Description: The University of North Texas (UNT: www.unt.edu) has embarked on a major, multi-year initiative to hire faculty in priority areas, add professional staff and make infrastructure improvements to expand its scientific research. In this context, UNT seeks a Senior Level Ecosystem Ecologist (rank open, preference full professor) with actively funded research in biogeochemistry or similar area.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in ecology or related field and be an integral part of the new interdisciplinary program in Sub-Antarctic Biocultural Research and Conservation (www.chile.unt.edu), which has a focus on the interrelationship of ecology and culture in the temperate and subantarctic ecoregion of southern Chile. The selected individual will become part of a "cluster" team at UNT that will include a multi-year hiring process to further enhance research activities in the science and practice of ecology and conservation. The position will be expected to support the instructional goals of the university at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The Program at UNT is coordinated by the Departments of Biological Sciences and Philosophy & Religion Studies with ongoing initiatives linked throughout the university and an intense collaboration with scientists at the Chilean Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity (www.ieb-chile.cl) and the nascent Chilean Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research Network (www.ieb-chile.cl/ltser).
