The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences has an opening at the assistant professor level for an ecologist with expertise in natural or anthropogenically induced environmental change. We are particularly interested in individuals whose research integrates issues in conservation ecology or biodiversity with alteration of ecosystem structure and function. We expect the successful applicant to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program, teach undergraduate courses in areas such as conservation ecology or biodiversity, statistics, and graduate courses in their specialty to complement our curriculum, and to mentor Ph.D., M.S., and undergraduate students. This position is the one of several new hires in Earth and Environmental Sciences, engineering, and the social sciences expected to participate in a university wide, multidisciplinary initiative focusing on the environment.
To receive full consideration, applicants should submit by November 15th a letter of application, curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching interests, up to 3 reprints, and the names of three referees to: Donald Morris, Search Committee Chair, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, 31 Williams Drive, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA 18015.
