Ph.D. required for faculty rank. Teaching responsibilities include an introductory course in ecology or fisheries and wildlife biology plus an upper division course in the candidate’s area of expertise.

The candidate will be encouraged to interact with natural resource agencies and with the University of Wyoming’s School of Environment and Natural Resources.
