Banner Position Number 000224 The new hire is expected to bring to the position a competitive research program in the broad area of vertebrate functional anatomy, and introduce new model organisms and novel approaches to the department. This research program should expand on and form collaborations within existing strengths in the department, such as evolution, organismal biology, ecology, physiology, and molecular biology. We will consider applicants with research programs in any vertebrate taxon but are especially interested in candidates with an interest in mammalian systems and questions that integrate vertebrate anatomy and morphology with functional questions in extant organisms. A research program that makes use of vertebrate collections will be considered a plus.

Prior experience in teaching undergraduate courses in vertebrate anatomy, mammalogy, and/or microanatomy/histology is preferred. The hire will also be expected to develop new graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses in their specific area of interest. Our Department and College value exemplary teaching and research. The successful candidate will possess an independent, collaborative, and competitive research program that involves undergraduate and graduate students.
