The SUNY-ESF Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management (http://www.esf.edu/fnrm) invites applicants for a tenure-track position in Applied Tree Ecophysiology at the Assistant Professor level. We seek a collaborative scholar who employs physiological, molecular and/or organismal approaches to the ecology and management of trees in natural and managed ecosystems, including urban forests. The successful candidate will blend basic and applied research to address key questions and management challenges related to woody plant responses to natural and anthropogenic stressors and stimuli, including pathogens, invasive species, pollution, and climate change. The incumbent is expected to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program related to tree and forest restoration, ideally in ways that engage with ongoing efforts by ESF faculty, including: restoration of American chestnut using a blight-resistant transgenic variety, development of short-rotation willow crops for bioenergy and environmental applications, and tree-insect and/or tree-pathogen interactions. Teaching responsibilities include an introductory ecology course for natural resource management and forestry students, an upper‐level plant physiology course (primarily for biology majors), and one upper division or graduate-‐level offering in the incumbent’s area of expertise. We are particularly interested in candidates with a commitment to diversity and inclusiveness in research, teaching and service activities.
