Description Of Work

The School of Biological Sciences ( SBS ), in the College of Arts and Sciences ( CAS ), at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln ( UNL ) invites applications for the endowed John F.

We seek an outstanding scientist with a record of impactful scholarly achievements within the broad field of integrative plant biology. We expect to make the appointment at the senior associate or full professor level with tenure.

The successful candidate will work broadly using interdisciplinary and integrative approaches in any area of plant biology and have demonstrated pre-eminence in their field. This position will play a key role in furthering UNL’s goals of integrating plant science research at multiple biological levels, from molecular mechanisms to ecosystem dynamics and from fundamental discoveries to practical applications. The candidate is expected to integrate knowledge from diverse disciplines, potentially including, but not limited to, molecular and cellular biology, plant physiology and development, ecology and environmental science, evolutionary biology, biodiversity, genomics, and bioinformatics in order to address complex questions regarding the function, development, evolution, and/or ecological significance of plants.

The successful candidate will be expected to:

Maintain an active, nationally and internationally visible, and externally supported research program. Teach courses in the plant science curriculum and develop courses in their specific area of expertise. Mentor and train students and postdoctoral fellows. Contribute to the university’s mission to promote inclusive excellence in research, education, and mentoring of students of all backgrounds.

The successful candidate will receive dedicated lab and office space and a competitive salary and start-up package, as well as recurring annual research support. They will also have the opportunity to collaborate with an accomplished group of biologists in SBS (

biosci.unl.edu

), the Center for Plant Science Innovation (

psi.unl.edu
