The Department of Biological Sciences at Texas Tech University is seeking to fill a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor rank with a research emphasis that addresses the biology, ecology, host/pathogen relationships, or epidemiology of emerging zoonotic diseases. A doctoral degree (PhD, DrPH, DVM, or equivalent) in fields related to zoonoses, epidemiology, or wildlife diseases is required. Post-doctoral research experience is preferred. Candidates whose research complements the expertise of current faculty, especially as it relates to vertebrate organisms and One Health initiatives are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will have a record of scholarship as evidenced by a strong extramural funding and publication success. In addition to supervising an independent and energetic research program that will attract extramural funding, the chosen candidate will provide research training for graduate and undergraduate students, teach subject area courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and contribute to the department, college, and university through service duties that include program-building and extra-curricular activities.
Application materials should consist of 1) a curriculum vitae, 2) three representative publications, 3) statements of research and teaching interests, 4) a diversity statement (evaluation rubric available online), and 5) the names of three potential referees.
