Assistant Professor in Lake/Reservoir Fish Ecology, Conservation, and Management — Colorado State University
Lentic ecosystems provide key services to humans but are under increasing threats that include reduced water availability, nonnative species, and a changing climate. Lentic ecosystems are vitally important in regions where water is seasonally available, including Colorado, because they provide water for human and agricultural purposes, while maintaining fisheries, ecosystem services, and recreational opportunities. We seek candidates who will develop a locally to internationally relevant research program addressing the fundamental and applied aspects of lake and reservoir fish ecology, conservation, and management. Candidates will also be expected to deliver excellent undergraduate courses for students in all three concentrations of the major in Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research, instruction, and engagement align with the strategic foci of the Warner College of Natural Resources, including being a global leader in natural resource research, experiential learning, and diversity and inclusion.
