[MSA-Talk] Faculty Position @ UPenn

[Reto Giere]

Dear Colleagues,

Below you will find an ad for a tenure-track Assistant
Professor position at the University of Pennsylvania in
Philadelphia. We are searching in a wide range of
disciplines, as the position is part of a new cluster on
Evolution within the School of Arts and Sciences. The term
�Evolution� is interpreted broadly and includes the topic
mineral evolution. We hope to attract exceptional
scientists who are committed to building bridges between
the Department of Earth and Environmental Science and other
Departments and Schools.

Best wishes,
Reto Gier�



Tenure-track Assistant Professor in evolution

The School of Arts and Sciences at the University of
Pennsylvania seeks to add to the faculty of our newly
formed Evolution Cluster. We invite applicants for a
tenure-track assistant professor appointment in evolution,
broadly interpreted. We are interested in exceptional
scientists who will establish a research program to
empirically study the evolution of dynamical processes
using field or laboratory experiments or the construction
and analysis of massive data sets. Areas of interest
include, but are not limited to: the evolution of neural,
social, ecological or linguistic dynamics and networks;
evolution of early life or exobiology; biochemical,
neuronal, or cooperative interactions and exchange of
information at the molecular, cellular, human, or
ecosystems scales; directed evolution of organisms or
processes; analyzing extant structures and networks, from
molecules to populations, along with their evolutionary
trajectories, including the development of new modalities
to extract data from the geologic, genetic, or linguistic
historical records. The successful candidate's primary
appointment will be in a single department in the natural
sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental
Science, Linguistics, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy,
or Psychology. Secondary appointments in other departments
can be arranged, as appropriate. The successful candidate
will have a strong interest in building a program that
generates interaction with researchers from other
disciplines who are working within the overarching theme of
evolution and will teach courses in his or her home
department and participate in the development of curricula
pertinent to the Evolution Cluster (See
http://evolutioncluster.sas.upenn.edu for more
information). The University of Pennsylvania is an
Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and is
strongly committed to establishing a diverse faculty:
http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/volumes/v58/n02/diversityplan.html.
Applications should be submitted on-line at
http://facultysearches.provost.upenn.edu/postings/23 and
include a curriculum vitae, a research statement that
includes the candidate's perspective on how she or he fits
into one of the core departments, links to no more than
three journal publications, and the contact information for
three individuals who will provide letters of
recommendation. Review of applications will begin 1
November 2013 and will continue until the position is
filled.
