Opportunity: Assistant Professor of Ecology | UC Riverside The Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology (EEOB) at the University of California, Riverside invites applications for two 9-month tenure-track faculty positions at the rank of Assistant Professor in any area of basic or applied Ecology, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025. These positions are part of a University of California Advancing Faculty Diversity Program-funded cluster hire in the EEOB department. Candidates should address key issues in any subdiscipline of Ecology, broadly defined. This may include, but is not limited to, mechanisms of species coexistence; effects of environmental change on organisms, populations, communities, or ecosystems; causes and consequences of biogeographic/macroecological patterns; conservation/restoration of impacted ecosystems; and integration of ecology with physiological, behavioral, or evolutionary processes. Applicants may conduct research involving any combination of empirical or theoretical methods, including laboratory experiments, field experiments or observations, analyses of existing datasets, and mathematical/statistical modeling. We welcome candidates who employ approaches to integrate ecological science with the social dimensions that underlie environmental issues such as the valuation of biodiversity, studies of linked human/natural systems, decolonial ecology, and integration of traditional/indigenous ecological knowledge.
