Assistant Professor in Aquatic Ecophysiology or Ecotoxicology — University of Wyoming
The Department of Zoology and Physiology at the University of Wyoming invites applications for a tenure-track position in aquatic ecophysiology or ecotoxicology at the rank of Assistant Professor. We invite applications from candidates using diverse systems and approaches to integrate insights from both ecology and physiology to understand the impacts of environmental changes on organisms. This interdisciplinary position will enhance our understanding of complex interactions between environmental stressors and physiological responses and will collaborate with our diverse department and with agency partners. We envision an independent researcher who will develop a strong, extramurally funded research program related to aquatic animal physiology and/or ecotoxicology, and who will excel in a highly collaborative university setting. We seek a colleague who is committed to participating in the department and university community through teaching, research, service, and undergraduate and graduate student mentoring. The individual will be expected to contribute to the academic missions of the department and to other programs on campus including the interdepartmental Ph.D. program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. The successful candidate will be expected to teach in undergraduate and graduate programs and should be committed to mentoring and supporting a diverse university community.
This hire will have access to several state-of-the-art core research facilities within the department and university, including the Red Buttes Environmental Laboratory, Genome Technologies Laboratory, Geochemical Analytical Laboratory, Stable Isotope Facility, and the UW-NPS Research Station in Grand Teton National Park. At UW, faculty are highly collaborative across units, and opportunities for close interaction with other faculty in other departments and schools are encouraged. The University of Wyoming is located in Laramie, a town of 30,000 in the heart of the Rocky Mountain West. Located in a high mountain valley 20 minutes from the Colorado border, Laramie offers both outstanding recreational opportunities and is within 2.5 hours of a major international airport. This beautiful mountain landscape offers outdoor enjoyment in all seasons, with skiing, hiking, camping, and fishing in nearby mountain ranges to the east and the west.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in ecology, evolution, physiology, biology, or a closely related field, excellent written and oral communication skills, high potential for an extramurally funded research program, demonstrated capacity for effective teamwork and collaboration, and high potential for improving equity and inclusion for diverse participants in science education and scholarship.
