Ecologist

Application process is now closed.

The Environmental Science Institute (ESI) and Integrative Biology of the University of Texas at Austin seek to hire an ecologist. Although we are primarily searching at the Assistant Professor level, especially well qualified individuals at other ranks will also be considered. We seek applicants who integrate ecology with other natural and social sciences to address ecosystem and environmental processes. We are particularly interested in areas related to carbon cycling, the water cycle, and climate change. A Ph.D. is required, and a degree in biological sciences and postdoctoral experience are preferred.

This position represents one of several new faculty positions authorized over the next five years to further ESI's (http://www.esi.utexas.edu) mission of conducting outstanding interdisciplinary research and education in environmental science. The successful applicant will have a faculty position in the Section of Integrative Biology (http://www.biosci.utexas.edu/ib), which has an active and growing ecology faculty.

We strongly encourage applicants to submit material as a single PDF file (including a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a brief statement of research and teaching interests and reprints/preprints of 3 pertinent publications) to: esijob@uts.cc.utexas.edu. A minimum of 3 recommendation letters should be sent by the referees either in PDF or Word format to the above e-mail address, or in hard copy to:
