Faculty Position in Genomics at The University of Arizona

The Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona seeks to fill one tenure-track faculty position in the broad area of genomics and the environment, particularly with applications to human health.  Candidates’ research accomplishments and aims should show evidence of originality and should address significant evolutionary and/or ecological questions.  Methods and approaches can include population genetics, functional and comparative genomics, bioinformatics, field and experimental studies, and can focus on any group of organisms.  We are particularly interested in researchers who link genomics to the environment, for example by identifying the genetic basis of adaptation to different environments, the expansion of infectious diseases into new geographic regions as a result of climate change or changes in land use, and the environmental determinants of human genetic diseases.  We will consider applicants at all ranks (Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor).  Prominent senior candidates are especially encouraged to apply.  Review of applications will begin November 1, 2010.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, a statement of research interests, a statement of teaching interests, a complete CV, up to five reprints of published work, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to:
