Professor of Integrative Biology & Director of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology
The Department of Integrative Biology and the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley invite applications for a joint tenured faculty appointment in the evolutionary biology of vertebrates.
We view vertebrate evolutionary biology broadly, and the successful candidate's research expertise might thus include (but not be limited to) the areas of systematics, biodiversity informatics, comparative phylogenetics, evolutionary genomics, conservation biology, evolutionary ecology, and evolutionary and ecological dynamics in relation to environmental change.
The successful candidate will be expected to maintain a dynamic, field collections-based, extramurally funded research program, and will have an inspired vision for the future of the MVZ and museum-based research more generally. Candidates must have a strong interest in undergraduate and graduate teaching and will be expected to contribute to instruction in general and specialized courses. A commitment to expanding and utilizing museum collections in research, education, and outreach is required. The MVZ and IB are highly interested in candidates who have engaged in service towards increasing the participation of individuals from groups historically under-represented in higher education.
For further information about the MVZ and IB, please visit our websites (http://mvz.berkeley.edu/ and http://ib.berkeley.edu/). For information regarding confidentiality, please refer to: http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html.
Please submit application materials describing relevant qualifications and experience for the position, a curriculum vitae, statements of research interests, teaching philosophy and outreach to underrepresented groups, a vision statement for the MVZ, and the names and contact details for three references.
