The Department of Biology (http://bio.unc.edu) and the Curriculum in Ecology and Environment (CEE;http://cee.unc.edu/)
invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Ecology at
the Assistant Professor level with a research focus on biodiversity.
Candidates doing innovative work in any area of biodiversity are
encouraged to apply. We especially seek to recruit a
broadly trained scientist who uses both quantitative and
interdisciplinary approaches to answer fundamental questions surrounding
the dynamics and maintenance of biodiversity, and how biodiversity is
expected to respond in the face of global change.
The
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a vibrant center of
scientific discovery and innovation, with a commitment to collaboration.
Our large research base spans
many areas of biology and supports several outstanding graduate
programs. We are committed to academic excellence and diversity within
the faculty, staff, and student body.
The
Department of Biology consists of over 50 faculty engaged in basic and
interdisciplinary research, within the department and between other
departments and schools at
UNC. The Curriculum in Environment and Ecology hosts over 40 faculty
from departments across UNC, including Biology, Marine Sciences, and
Geography, and both graduate and undergraduate students participate in
research and educational opportunities. UNC faculty,
postdocs and graduate students also routinely interact with colleagues
at nearby Duke and North Carolina State Universities, institutions in
Research Triangle Park, Highlands Biological Station, and the Institute
for Marine Sciences, and have access to a state-of-the-art
High-Throughput Sequencing Facility. The quality of life in North
Carolina's Triangle area is consistently rated among the highest in the
nation. UNC was listed as one of the top 20 "Best Places to Work in
Academia" in 2013 by The Scientist magazine.
