The Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies invites applications for an appointment at the Full, Associate, or Assistant Professor level in Plant Physiological Ecology with a focus on woody plants. Preference will be given to applicants working at the level of whole organisms and specializing in the interaction of trees and forests with their environment.
The successful candidate will have a doctoral degree in a related field, as well as an excellent research program, grounded in plant physiology, structure, and function. Research should address problems of broad importance, such as the impacts of climate change or management practices at multiple scales, from the level of individuals and populations to large-scale ecosystems and biomes. We are especially interested in candidates with the capacity to collaborate with other faculty in a strongly interdisciplinary School, as well as with faculty in the Departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Geology and Geophysics, and Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology. Applicants will be expected to teach classes to PhD, Masters and undergraduate students, and to develop an internationally-recognized research program that involves graduate students, including through fieldwork. The ability to teach and conduct research in both temperate and tropical systems would be an asset. Prior to applying, candidates should explore the SchoolÂ’s website (www.environment.yale.edu) and consider how their expertise can complement existing strengths within the School. Please submit: 1) a curriculum vita, 2) a statement of research, 3) a statement of teaching interests, and 4) the names and contact information of four references via https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/2686. Submit materials by Friday, September 27, 2013 for full consideration. Salary and Rank will be commensurate with experience.
