The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (www.lsa.umich.edu/eeb) and the Program in the Environment (www.lsa.umich.edu/pite) at the University of Michigan seek applicants for an assistant professor (tenure-track) position in the ecology or evolutionary biology of fishes or birds. While we expect to make a junior hire, outstanding senior applicants will also be considered. This is a university-year appointment with an expected start date of September 1, 2015. We seek outstanding individuals who use comparative fish or bird systems to study any area of ecology or evolutionary biology, and who would offer exceptional courses in the ecology or evolution of either taxon.  Also strongly encouraged are research programs that could take advantage of the world-class biodiversity collections of the Museum of Zoology and/ or utilize the EEB Department’s biological field stations.  Museum curatorial activities may replace some teaching duties for appropriate candidates.
