Lecturer in Ecology (New Zealand)

We seek to appoint a new Lecturer in Ecology within the Institute of Agriculture and Environment (IAE) at Massey University's Palmerston North campus, New Zealand

Closing date is 30 April 2015

Applicants for the position will have excellent academic credentials and a PhD in Ecology or related discipline, a demonstrated track record of high-quality research outputs and success in obtaining research grants. The successful candidate will pursue research of international calibre, attract external research funding, supervise postgraduate students, and teach at all levels, both within the BSc Major in Ecology and also potentially across related fields (e.g., Conservation Biology, Environmental Science, Zoology, Physiology, Biometry), engaging in novel curriculum development for research-led teaching. The successful candidate will also engage in outreach and administrative services to the University and broader academic and professional communities.

We seek candidates whose research programme will complement and enhance the existing Ecology Group research capabilities within IAE, which has strengths in behavioural ecology, population and community ecology, evolutionary ecology, freshwater ecology, plant ecology, conservation biology, zoology, and environmental science and management. The ideal candidates will also establish collaborations with researchers from other disciplines within IAE. Applicants from all fields of Ecology will be considered, but those with expertise in ecosystem ecology, microbial ecology, landscape ecology, behavioural ecology, evolutionary ecology, population ecology, or applied entomology are particularly encouraged to apply.

Level of position and salary will be commensurate with experience.
