Preferred Qualifications
Responsibilities & Requirements
As part of a university-wide initiative involving the Turkana Basin Institute, the
Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University invites applications
for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor whose research
concerns vertebrate evolution and/or its ecological and climatological context. Areas
of particular interest include, but are not limited to, phylogenetics, comparative
vertebrate morphology, vertebrate paleontology, paleoecology, and paleo-community
ecology.
This position is one of five faculty lines being created across campus for researchers
whose interests intersect with the goals and resources of the Turkana Basin Institute.
We seek a candidate with the potential to augment or build upon one or more of the
Department of Ecology and Evolution’s current research strengths, while taking advantage
of Stony Brook’s unique relationship with the Turkana Basin Institute and related
programs across campus. The Turkana Basin is a premier site for the discovery and
understanding of hominid and vertebrate evolution and the ecological and climatological
context of these processes. Candidates need not at present have a research program
in the Turkana Basin.
We seek a candidate who will be an effective teacher in undergraduate and graduate
courses in the areas of ecology and evolution, and who will develop programs that
will enhance the department’s tradition of interdisciplinary research. Details of
the department’s areas of research emphasis and current facilities may be found at http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/ecoevo/.
The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in ecology and evolution or closely related
field at the time of appointment; preference will be given to those with related post-doctoral
experience. The successful candidate must also have the clear potential to establish
an internationally recognized, externally funded research program that would include
mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students.
The successful candidate will teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, generate
external funding to support their research, perform research, mentor undergraduate
and graduate students, participate in departmental and university committees, and
perform service to support the Department of Ecology and Evolution and the Turkana
Basin Institute.
