Applications are invited for a tenure-track position in Ecology or Evolutionary Biology at the
Assistant Professor level in the Department of Biological Sciences at Fordham University – Rose Hill
Campus in the Bronx, New York, beginning Fall 2025.

The applicant will conduct research in ecology and/or evolutionary biology in a specialty that
complements the existing strengths of the department, and will contribute to graduate and
undergraduate teaching and research mentoring. We offer undergraduate biology majors and
non-majors courses, connection with the Environmental Science program, MS and PhD
graduate programs in Biology, and a graduate Conservation Certificate. We have research
facilities at the Rose Hill campus and at the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station, and
we especially seek scientists who can develop a research program that will support and
