Growing up in land-locked Colorado, my childhood experiences involved more snowmen than sand-castles. Although my interactions with the ocean were limited, my fascination with the marine world grew exponentially with every exposure. After becoming SCUBA certified at the age of 15, diving became an integral part of my life, leading me to become an instructor in Zanzibar, Tanzania. After living in Africa and Australia, I conducted research on artificial coral reef systems in Indonesia, assessing the relationship between structural characteristics and diversity.

The Department of Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, is soliciting applications for a tenure track position (Assistant Professor) in ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, including host-parasite interactions. A PhD is required by the date of hire. We are searching broadly, without regard to taxon or system and will consider exceptional individuals who study animal, plant, or microbial systems, including parasites that affect human health. Of special interest is research that integrates empirical studies with theory.
