ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, TENURE-TRACK

Animal Integrative Biology



The Department of Biology at the University of Florida (UF) is seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position beginning August 2012 at the Assistant Professor level whose work is at the interface of animal physiology and either behavior or development. We are seeking candidates who will develop an internationally recognized, externally funded research program that builds on the strengths and interconnects the department's expertise in the fields of behavior, development, evolution, ecology, genetics, systematics, morphology, and physiology.



The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the teaching of undergraduates in the areas of animal physiology and either animal behavior or developmental biology and to offer graduate seminars/courses in these or more specialized areas. A Ph.D. is required.



The Department of Biology has a strongly collegial environment that fosters collaborative interdisciplinary research and teaching that emphasizes integration of the above research areas within the framework of evolutionary principles. It enjoys strong ties with the Florida Museum of Natural History, UF Genetics Institute, UF Emerging Pathogens Institute and multiple University centers in biomedical, veterinary, environmental, and agricultural sciences.
