Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Faculty Position, Fordham University

Applications are invited for a tenure-track position in Ecology or Evolutionary Biology at the Assistant Professor level in the Department of Biological Sciences at Fordham’s Rose Hill Campus in the Bronx, New York, beginning Fall 2025. 

The applicant will conduct research in ecology and/or evolutionary biology in a specialty that complements the existing strengths of the department, and will contribute to graduate and undergraduate teaching and research mentoring. We offer undergraduate biology majors and non-majors courses, connection with the Environmental Science program, MS and PhD graduate programs in Biology, and a graduate Conservation Certificate. We have research facilities at the Rose Hill campus and at the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station, and we especially seek scientists who can develop a research program that will support and strengthen activities at this field station. There are opportunities to collaborate with scientists at a number of local institutions with connections to Fordham, including the New York Botanical Garden, the American Museum of Natural History and the Wildlife Conservation Society/ Bronx Zoo.    

Applicants are required to have a Ph.D. in a life science or related field, and should have postdoctoral or equivalent experience and a record of published work. The successful candidates will be expected to supervise an independent research program that will attract extramural funding, provide research opportunities and mentoring for graduate and undergraduate students, and offer professional service to the Department and University.

To apply, submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, contact information for three references, research and teaching statements, and three reprints via interfolio at this link http://apply.interfolio.com/150048.  Questions can be directed to the Biological Sciences Department Chair Dr. Evon Hekkala (ehekkala@fordham.edu). 

For full consideration, applications should be received by November 1, 2024.

Fordham is an independent, Catholic University in the Jesuit tradition committed to excellence through diversity. We encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply, and we especially seek candidates who show a commitment to broadening participation of members of underrepresented groups in science and who would contribute to Fordham University’s goals of increasing diversity, equity and inclusion.
