FACULTY POSITION IN EXPERIMENTAL BEHAVIORAL BIOLOGY,

Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota--The Department
of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior invites applications for a faculty
position in experimental behavioral biology. The expected appointment is
at the Assistant Professor level, but Associate Professors will also be
considered. The successful candidate will have expertise in experimental
approaches that address key questions in behavioral ecology; interests
that bridge the gap between evolutionary and mechanistic studies of
behavior; and demonstrated potential to build collaborative connections
with other departments (such as entomology, fisheries and wildlife,
neuroscience and psychology). Candidates working in any area of
behavioral ecology will be considered, but expertise in animal
communication, reproductive behavior, or social behavior is especially
welcome. The successful candidate will develop an innovative,
extramurally funded research program. In addition, the successful
candidate will teach an undergraduate course in introductory animal
behavior, and develop a more advanced course in his or her area of
expertise. A Ph.D. is required and postdoctoral experience is preferred.
The Department of EEB is a dynamic, nationally and internationally
recognized group of 29 faculty mentoring nearly 100 graduate students
and postdocs. Faculty research encompasses ecology, evolution, and
behavior with strengths in integrative, interdisciplinary studies. For
