Faculty Positions
Department of Biology
University of Pennsylvania
The Department of Biology expects to make two tenure track appointments,
one in Ecology and one in Plant Biology. While we expect that the two
appointments will be at the Assistant Professor level, outstanding senior
applicants will also be given serious consideration.
Ecology: we are seeking a broadly trained ecologist whose research has
implications for understanding large scale processes and patterns in
ecology. The ideal candidate will complement and interact with existing
faculty whose strengths lie in population and community ecology and
evolutionary biology.
Plant Biology: individuals using molecular, genetic, biochemical and/or
biophysical approaches to study the mechanism(s) of basic plant processes
are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will also become an
active member of the Plant Science Institute.
Candidates will be expected to teach at the undergraduate and graduate
levels in addition to maintaining a vigorous, independent research program.
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, at least three
letters of recommendation, and up to three reprints or manuscripts to:
Chair, Ecology or Plant Biology Search Committee
