Subject or Title: Two tenure-track positions: Biostatistics and Plant
Ecology
ECOLOGICAL/EVOLUTIONARY STATISTICS
TERRESTRIAL PLANT ECOLOGY
The Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University
invites applications for two tenure-track positions at the Assistant
Professor level to begin in August 2009.
Ecological/Evolutionary Statistics:
We seek a biostatistician working in ecology and/or evolution, with
broad experience in statistical theory and methods. We especially
welcome those developing new statistical approaches. The research area
is open. Possible research areas could include statistical genetics,
genomics, landscape ecology, population dynamics, and morphometrics
using approaches including multivariate analysis, meta-analysis,
Bayesian statistics, and spatial statistics, among others. The
successful candidate will teach a core graduate course in Biometry as
well as other graduate or undergraduate courses in their area of expertise.
Terrestrial Plant Ecology:
We are seeking applications from plant ecologists working at the
interface between community and ecosystem ecology and interested in
problems related to global change, but we will consider outstanding
candidates in any area of plant ecology, including species interactions,
community dynamics, physiological ecology, and plant demography.
Candidates with strong backgrounds in quantitative methods and with
interests in spatial or experimental approaches are especially welcome.
The successful applicants for these positions will have an outstanding
research program and a commitment to excellence in teaching, and will be
expected to obtain outside funding. We are a dynamic and growing
department in a Tier I university offering competitive teaching loads
and startups. Information about our collegial and diverse faculty and
strong graduate training program is available at
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/ee/. Interactions with members of other
programs on campus and in the area are strongly encouraged; these
include the Consortium for Inter-Disciplinary Environmental Research at
Stony Brook, the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, the
Departments of Anthropology, Anatomy, and Applied Math, the Genetics
Program, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratory. The campus is situated close to major marine and terrestrial
research sites, including 50,000 acres of legally protected pine barrens
and woodlands. Stony Brook is located in eastern Long Island, NY, with
extensive farmlands and vineyards, miles of beaches, and easy access to
the cultural resources of New York City. This is a great place to
establish a career and a nice place to be.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. and a strong publication record;
post-doctoral experience is preferred. Applicants should submit CVs,
statements of teaching and research interests, and have three letters of
recommendation sent to: Ecological/Evolutionary Statistics Search or
Plant Ecology Search, Department of Ecology and Evolution, Stony Brook
University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-5245 USA or online at
http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/ee/ee-open-positions.html
Applications will be considered as they are received until November 1.
Stony Brook University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action
employer. Women, people of color, individuals with disabilities and
veterans are encouraged to apply.
