The Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology (EEMB;

invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Behavioral
Ecology, broadly defined, at the rank of Assistant Professor. We are
searching for a highly creative and interactive scholar who fits into
our multidisciplinary department. The area and system of study are
open, although we are most interested in candidates who study the
fitness consequences or evolutionary outcomes of variation in
behavioral strategies or who use comparative analyses relating
behavior to the environment. We encourage applications from candidates
who adopt an integrative, mechanistic approach and have a strong field
component in their research.

The candidate is expected to have or develop an internationally
recognized research program, mentor graduate and undergraduate
students in the candidate's area of expertise, and teach both graduate
and undergraduate courses. This position requires a PhD at the time of
appointment.

Applicants should submit: 1) a cover letter, 2) a curriculum vitae, 3)
a statement of research that covers research accomplishments and
future plans, 4) a statement of teaching experience and interests, 5)
three selected publications, and 6) letters of recommendation from
three to four persons with the ability to evaluate the candidate.

EEMB is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the
diversity and excellence of the academic community through research,
teaching and service.
