The Department of Biology at Stanford University seeks applicants for a tenure track Assistant Professorship in Ecology. We seek applicants engaged in answering broad basic questions to advance the field of ecology, with a strong emphasis on the combined application of empirical and theoretical approaches, and with experience and interest in field oriented research. We are interested in applicants studying such questions using plants or microorganisms as study systems, but encourage applications from people working on other systems too. Applicants should write a vision statement that goes beyond a precis of the applicant's prior and current research, to outline one or more major unsolved problems in their field of interest, and how they plan to address them.
In addition to the vision statement described above, applicants are requested to provide a cover letter, a curriculum vitae including publication list, a statement of research accomplishments, a description of teaching experience, and three letters of recommendation. Applicants are expected to develop a vigorous research program and to participate in both undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral education and training.
