The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder invites applications for an ecologist working at the ecosystem, landscape or global scale at the Assistant Professor (tenure track) level. We seek an individual who addresses the influence of environmental change (including climate, land use, disturbance, biological invasions, or pollution) on ecological patterns, processes, and trends at large spatial scales. Expertise could include: ecological consequences of spatial heterogeneity; interactions of large-scale biotic and abiotic factors; system-level approaches to complex dynamics; integration of structure and process across multiple scales; global patterns in ecosystem functions, resilience, or biodiversity; or in the development of theory or data analytics to address large-scale datasets. System-level expertise may be in any area, including terrestrial, aquatic, or linked terrestrial-aquatic systems that range from natural to human-dominated.
The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EBIO) has strong interdisciplinary ties to other campus institutes (e.g., INSTAAR, CIRES), the CU Natural History Museum, and departments (e.g., ENVS, GEOG, GEOL) focused on research and teaching in the environmental sciences, and offers possibilities for involvement in major environmental research programs, including the Niwot Ridge LTER and Boulder Creek CZO, as well as Earth Lab Analytical Hub. Research programs in EBIO are aimed at improving our understanding of global change; connecting biological research to the development of ecological conservation strategies; and exploring the fundamental mechanisms underlying the structural and functional adaptations of organisms. We offer a collaborative, intellectually stimulating, and supportive environment in which a new professor can thrive. To apply, please follow the link https://jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail/?jobId=13950. Review of applications will begin on November 15, 2018; applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
