The Department of Ecology at Montana State University seeks an Assistant
Professor of Plant Physiological Ecology with a promising research and
teaching record focused on responses of vegetation to climate change (to
commence fall 2012).We are particularly interested in candidates whose
research examines two or more of the following:
(1) effects of global change on plant physiology and consequences for
vegetation composition, plant quality, and/or productivity;
(2) mechanisms of vegetation response including the interactive effects
of water, light, temperature, and nutrients;
(3) linkages between plant-level physiological response and patterns and
process at broad spatial and temporal scales; and
(4) use of simulation models or other quantitative tools to forecast
vegetation pattern under global change.
The successful candidate is expected to maintain an excellent program of
research and publication with strong commitment to quality undergraduate
and graduate education. The Department of Ecology is committed to
faculty diversity, and women and minority candidates are especially
encouraged to apply.
Applicants should electronically submit a letter of interest addressing
the required and preferred qualifications, a CV, description of research
accomplishments and future directions, statement of teaching experience
and interests, copies of up to three publications, and names and full
contact information of three references by January 16, 2012 to: Plant
