Tenure-track Faculty Position in Plant Ecology
The Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in plant ecology with an emphasis in the area of global change. We seek to appoint an individual who studies the ecology of plants and/or plant-organism interactions in terrestrial, aquatic, or marine environments at the population, community, or ecosystem level. We are especially interested in individuals who conduct rigorous field observations and/or experiments that advance our understanding of how climate change, habitat transformation, species introductions, and species extinctions are affecting ecosystems at local, regional and global scales. Applicants will be expected to develop an innovative research program and contribute to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applications from, or information about, female and minority candidates are encouraged. This search is part of a broader initiative to develop comprehensive research programs in plant biology and ecology at Harvard University. The department has strong linkages to a number of allied institutions, including the Harvard Forest, Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University Herbaria, Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, and Harvard Center for the Environment.
Applicants should submit the following application materials online to http://www.lsdiv.harvard.edu/oeb/facultysearch : a curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, representative publications, and arrange for three references to be uploaded to the website. Questions about the online application process should be addressed to Katie Parodi, kparodi@oeb.harvard.edu. Review of applications will begin on December 15, 2007.
