FACULTY POSITION
Terrestrial Ecologist
Assistant Professor
The Department of Zoology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison seeks an
outstanding researcher and teacher in terrestrial ecology. Research interests of high
priority for this position include biotic responses to global change (e.g., changes in
climate, land use, and the distribution of non-native species or pathogens) and/or
interactions between organisms and ecosystem function (e.g., nutrient cycling and
redistribution or trophic relationships). Our goal is to hire an outstanding individual
with broad interests in terrestrial ecology and great promise for intellectual growth and
scholarship who will augment our current expertise. Expectations include excellence in
research and graduate training, ability to maintain a vigorous extramurally funded
research program and skilled teaching of undergraduates. Teaching responsibilities will
include General Ecology, contributions to an introductory biology course, and
development of a graduate course. UW-Madison is strongly committed to building
diversity of its faculty, and candidates from under-represented groups are encouraged.
We will be accepting applications in fall 2009, choosing interviewees by late 2009, and
select the top candidate early in 2010.
