West Virginia University is seeking a broadly-trained wildlife ecologist to fill a nine-month tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor. We anticipate that the position will begin on July 1, 2015. The successful candidate is expected to develop a vibrant externally funded, nationally and internationally recognized research program that complements existing program strengths in wildlife ecology. Applicants with expertise in single taxonomic groups, particularly birds, will be considered, but preference is for a candidate with a broad background and interest in wildlife. Candidates with research interests in quantitative ecology, climate change, behavioral ecology, community ecology, or landscape ecology are of particular interest. The incumbent will mentor master's and doctoral students, publish research results in refereed journals, teach an undergraduate course in vertebrate natural history, an advanced undergraduate/graduate course in ornithology, and a graduate course in their area of expertise. An earned doctorate in wildlife sciences or related disciplines, a strong record of peer-reviewed publications, and the potential for obtaining and sustaining a research program from external grants is required. Teaching experience is highly desirable. Applications will be accepted until November 15, 2014 or until the position is filled.
