The Biology Department at Case Western Reserve University seeks to
fill two or more faculty positions in community or population ecology, at
least one of which will be open rank. Both empirical and theoretical
methods are welcome. We are especially interested in ecologists
incorporating some aspect of evolution in their research, although all
population and community ecologists will be considered. Research
interests of current faculty in ecology and evolutionary biology include
life history theory, community assembly, and trait-mediated interactions.
Qualifications for the position include a Ph.D. in an appropriate field,
demonstrated potential to lead a strong, independent, extramurally funded
research program, and the ability to develop and teach courses at the
undergraduate and graduate levels in ecology and/or evolution. The normal
teaching load is one course per semester. Appointment at the level of
Associate Professor requires a national reputation for research expertise,
a distinguished record of publication, and demonstrated extramural
funding. Appointment at the level of Professor, in addition to criteria
listed; includes a clear international leadership role in his or her area
of expertise. Electronic applications should be addressed to the Chair of
the Ecology Search Committee (including current curriculum vitae, a letter
of application, and a description of research and teaching interests) and
should be submitted electronically as a single pdf to the Biology
Department assistant: [email protected]. Candidates should arrange to have
three letters of recommendation sent directly to the same email address
with hard copies sent to Chair of the Ecology Search Committee, Department
of Biology, Case Western Reserve University, 10900 Euclid Avenue,
Cleveland, OH 44106-7080. Applications should be received by 31 October
