The Division of Biological Sciences (https://biology.ucsd.edu/), Section
of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution invites applications for a faculty
position in Developmental Evolutionary Biology at the tenure-track
Assistant Professor level. We are looking for a scientist who
investigates evolutionary questions through mechanistic studies of the
developmental or physiological processes that produce phenotypic
variation. Research topics could include, but are not limited to:
evolutionary innovation – including the evolution of new cell types, new
characters, and new levels of organization; the origin, evolution, and
consequences of developmental constraints; phenotypic plasticity and
genetic accommodation; and the evolution of genotype-phenotype maps.
Applicants who incorporate field, laboratory, and/or theoretical
components in their research would be welcome. The successful applicant
will join a growing coterie of labs at UCSD working at the intersection
of developmental and evolutionary biology.
The Division of Biological Sciences at UCSD is a vibrant center of
scientific discovery, innovation, and collaboration. Our large research
base spans many areas of biology and has one of the most celebrated
graduate programs in the country. We are committed to academic
excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body.
This is where discovery comes to life.
All candidates must have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, and be
committed to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In
addition to excellence and creativity in research and scholarship,
successful candidates must also demonstrate a commitment to equity and
inclusion in higher education. We are especially interested in
candidates who have created or contributed to programs that aim to
increase access and success of underrepresented students or faculty in
the sciences, or have detailed plans to accomplish such goals.
Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of
California pay scales.
Review of applications will commence December 1, 2021 and will continue
until position is filled
