Assistant or Associate Professor of Aquatic Ecology

W. K. Kellogg Biological Station
Michigan State University

The Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) seeks an aquatic ecologist for a tenure-track academic year appointment who will be based at KBS and jointly appointed in the Department of Zoology. The position is open to all areas of aquatic ecology. We seek an ecologist with broad conceptual interests and strong quantitative skills. We are particularly interested in applicants working at the population or community level and who have an appreciation for the interplay between ecological, evolutionary, and behavioral processes. The successful candidate is expected to develop a strong, externally-funded research program, to train graduate students, to foster collaborations with KBS and campus-based colleagues, and to participate in interdepartmental programs (e.g., Ecology, Evolution and Behavioral Biology; Environmental Science and Policy). We are particularly interested in a candidate able to teach a campus-based graduate course in quantitative methods, as well being able to develop a graduate course in the candidate's area of expertise (at KBS or on campus).
Applicants should have postdoctoral research experience with demonstrated productivity and evidence of potential for independent research. Women and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. To assure consideration, applications should be received by 1 November 2004. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a summary of research accomplishments and a brief description of future research and teaching plans. Please provide the names and addresses of three references who can be contacted. Information about KBS can be found at http://www.kbs.msu.edu/
