The Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University seeks to fill a nine-month tenure-track position in Forest Ecology at the Assistant Professor level. We seek an individual who will develop an internationally recognized research program in forest ecology and management, with a preferred emphasis on the impacts of climate change. The ideal candidate's research program would have a strong field component and address questions relating to the ecology and sustainable management of forested ecosystems, particularly in the context of climate-related disturbances and phenomena. Examples of focal areas include but are not limited to: forest insect/disease dynamics, land use and land cover changes, dendrochronology, fire regimes, tree ecophysiology and phenology, carbon/nutrient cycling, and changes in stand dynamics, species composition and biodiversity. The successful applicant should have a strong interest in education and be enthusiastic about creating undergraduate and graduate teaching environments that are innovative, integrative, and inspiring to natural resources students in the classroom and in the field. Review of applications begins on 1 February 2013. See http://www.cnr.usu.edu/plugins/work/blogger/142/files/Forest%20Ecology%20Full%20Announcement2012Final.pdf for the full announcement.
