Assistant Professor in Ecosystem Ecology
The Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia invites applications for four tenure-track positions in Ecosystem Ecology at the Assistant Professor level. We seek to hire two colleagues with expertise in aquatic ecosystems (i.e., freshwater, marine, or wetland), and two with expertise in terrestrial ecosystems. We are willing to consider one hire at the Associate Professor level for an exceptional candidate who is a recognized leader in their field. Successful candidates will build on the long-standing legacy of ecosystem ecology in the school and will have opportunities to forge collaborations with faculty in other units on campus, such as Forestry and Natural Resources, Marine Sciences, Crop and Soil Sciences, Plant Biology, Entomology, and Geography. Appointees will have the opportunity to utilize UGA-affiliated field sites (such as Horseshoe Bend, The Jones Center at Ichauway, Coweeta Hydrologic Lab, Savannah River Ecology Lab, the UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, UGA Marine Institute, and Whitehall Forest), as well as analytical and computational facilities on campus (such as the Georgia Genomics and Bioinformatics Core, the Center for Applied Isotope Studies, the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center and the Georgia Advanced Computing Resource Center). Successful candidates will be expected to engage in synergistic collaborations, share instrumentation, and leverage existing strengths within the school. Responsibilities: Contribute to teaching ecology courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, including mid- and large-enrollment courses for non-majors. Develop and maintain an extramurally funded research program that is recognized nationally and internationally. Requirements: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Ecology or a related field. Applicants must have expertise in ecosystem ecology, which includes broadly defined topics such as biogeochemical cycles, land-atmosphere interactions, pollutant cycling, microbial processes, and ecosystem resilience in the context of global changes, among others. Preferred Qualifications: Prior postdoc work is preferred. A demonstrated record of scholarship, synergistic activities, and the potential to maintain an active, externally funded research program. EEO Statement: The University of Georgia is an Equal Opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, color, disability, genetic information, national origin, race, religion, sex, or veteran status or other protected status.
