EEB is a vibrant and expanding department with strengths in evolutionary and conservation genomics, field biology, quantitative biology, and behavior. The department is part of a dynamic interdepartmental research community in computational biology, bioinformatics, genomics, and conservation biology across the greater UCLA campus. The successful candidate would be a part of this rich network, with many opportunities to collaborate between disciplines and departments. Necessary qualifications include a PhD degree in ecology, botany, marine science, or related fields. Please direct inquires to Associate Professor Nathan Kraft (nkr...@ucla.edu).
