Evolutionary Biology Faculty

The University of Chicago: Biological Sciences Division: Department of Ecology and Evolution

 

Description

As part of a multi-year hiring initiative, the Department of Ecology & Evolution at the University of Chicago is searching for faculty in evolutionary biology using either empirical or a combination of empirical and theoretical approaches. Appointment at the rank of tenure-track assistant professor is expected, but applicants for tenured ranks will be considered.

Competitive research space and start-up funding will be available, as will the potential for interactions with our off-campus affiliates, Argonne National Laboratory and the Marine Biological Laboratory. Scientists working on plant evolution will have access to endowed research funds and dedicated space in the greenhouse facilities and the Warren Woods Biological Station in Three Oaks, Michigan. The University is an exciting center of scientific discovery and innovation, and opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration and participation as graduate student trainers abound. Most university divisions and centers are contained within one compact campus in Chicago’s vibrant Hyde Park neighborhood, where many faculty members and students live.

Prior to the start of employment, qualified applicants must have a doctoral degree or equivalent.

To be considered, those interested must apply through the University of Chicago’s Academic Recruitment job board, which uses Interfolio to accept applications: https://apply.interfolio.com/91625. Applications must include a cover letter, a C.V. including bibliography, contact information for 3 references, a research statement that preferably outlines research goals and highlights up to three selected publications or pre-prints, and a teaching statement that may describe the candidate’s experience in teaching diverse students [The University’s Diversity Statement can be found at https://provost.uchicago.edu/statements-diversity]. Each statement should be less than three pages in length. Review of complete applications will begin September 6, 2021, and continue until the position is filled.
