Faculty position

Evolutionary Biology

The Department of Biology of the University of Pennsylvania is in the midst of a significant expansion and wishes to recruit new tenure-track faculty in the following area:

Evolutionary Biology

The Department of Biology at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for a tenure-track position in evolutionary biology.   We anticipate hiring at the Assistant Professor level, but highly qualified senior applicants will also be considered.   We seek an integrative scientist who uses modern approaches to elucidate evolutionary processes, broadly defined.   Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, evolutionary and ecological genetics and genomics, evolution of behavior, evolution of development, evolution of complex traits (including morphological and physiological traits), and evolution of epigenetic mechanisms.

We are open to applications from scientists studying any organism and at any level of biological organization.   The ideal applicant will show strong potential for interaction across the diverse disciplines represented in the Department.   Apply at facultysearches.provost.upenn.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=50732 and include curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching, and representative reprints or manuscripts.   Applicants at the Assistant Professor level should also submit the names and contact information for three individuals who will provide a letter of recommendation.

Review of applications will begin in late October, and continue until the position is filled.

The University of Pennsylvania is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.  Women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
