The Department of Integrative Biology (IB) and the Division of Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology (IDV) of the School of Public Health (SPH) at the University of California, Berkeley, seek an interdisciplinary scientist working on the ecological, epidemiological and/or evolutionary drivers of human-relevant zoonotic infectious disease.
We seek a colleague who develops and applies fundamental ecological and evolutionary approaches to meet the challenge of zoonotic diseases in human populations. Represented areas of interest include pathogen, zoonotic host, and vector ecology; phylogenomics and computational biology; environmental and global change impacts on emergence and transmission; and the evolutionary drivers of emergence and adaptation to the human population. Ideal candidates will have strong field, lab and/or computational components to their research. Candidates will be expected to have a strong interest in both undergraduate and graduate teaching and to contribute to instruction in core courses relevant to IB and SPH.
The successful candidate will be expected to establish a thriving, externally funded research program to effectively train and mentor students and will be expected to contribute to instruction in core courses relevant to IB and SPH. Competitive candidates will demonstrate evidence of outstanding research productivity, potential to obtain external funding, a commitment to excellence in teaching and in mentoring of undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs, and a commitment to advancing equity, inclusion, non-discrimination, and belonging consistent with Berkeley’s principles of community.
UCB has exceptional strengths in many areas of biology and engineering, and our new colleague will have the opportunity to partner in research, teaching and leadership in both IB, SPH and the larger Berkeley community. We are committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths, who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
