The University of Georgia Department of Plant Biology
(<http://www.plantbio.uga.edu>http://www.plantbio.uga.edu) invites
applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the assistant or
associate professor level in plant ecology with a focus on
aboveground components. Areas of specialization can include, but are
not limited to, population dynamics and plant interactions with their
environment, other plants and organisms. This new position will have
available research funds from a Haines Family Professorship
endowment. We seek an individual who addresses fundamental ecological
and evolutionary questions and who integrates multiple tools and
techniques, potentially including field, lab, modeling, molecular,
and genomic approaches. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D.
degree in plant biology or any related field of study and a strong
record of scientific productivity. S/he is expected to develop or
expand a vigorous externally-funded research program and to teach and
train undergraduate and graduate students. The Plant Biology
Department encompasses a broad range of disciplines and has
historical strengths in plant ecology, evolutionary biology and
mycology. We interact with numerous other ecologists, mycologists,
and plant scientists across the UGA campus. There is potential to
utilize a wide range of off-campus facilities including the UGA
Marine Institute at Sapelo Island, the Coweeta Hydrologic Lab and
LTER, and the Savannah River Ecology Lab. To apply, candidates should
submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and short statements of
research interests and teaching philosophy as a single PDF file to
<https://www.franklin.uga.edu/jobs/plant-biology>https://www.franklin.uga.edu/jobs/plant-biology.
Three letters of recommendation should be uploaded separately to the
same web site. The committee will begin reviewing applications on
January 7, 2013 and continue until the position is filled.
