Forest Ecologist at the Appalachian Laboratory The Appalachian Laboratory (AL) of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) seeks to fill a new full-time, tenure-track assistant professor position in forest ecology. The successful candidate should address questions at broad spatial scales and complement our strengths in landscape and watershed ecology. We are especially interested in expertise such as biogeochemistry, stable isotopes, phylogeography, and advanced statistical methods that will be used to assess the effects of environmental change on temperate forest ecosystems.
Excellent research, computing, and teaching facilities are available, including plant, soil, water, and molecular analysis laboratories with state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation, a new stable isotope facility, growth chambers, and a greenhouse. UMCES faculty are expected to participate in graduate education in addition to research, outreach, and application. Applicants should send an electronic copy of a curriculum vitae; statement of research interests and a brief discussion of how their research would complement ongoing research at AL and UMCES; selected reprints; and names of four references (including title, mailing address, telephone, FAX, and e-mail address) to [email protected]. Review of applications will begin on September 1, 2010 and will continue until the position is filled. Information about AL and UMCES and this search can be found at: http://www.al.umces.edu/. UMCES is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
