Please visit Assistant Professor, Insect Biodiversity for complete job posting and application instructions.
The Department of Entomology and the School of Integrative Biology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign invite applications from biologists with a record of research in insect biodiversity for a full-time, 9-month, tenure-track faculty position at the assistant professor level, with the anticipated start date of August 16, 2022.
We are looking for individuals whose work can address biodiversity across any of a number of levels and can include large-scale phylogenomics, biogeography, phylogeography, and conservation genomics. Research relevant to insect responses to global change and ecological/evolutionary consequences is a high priority. The successful candidate will be expected to build an externally funded research program and collaborate with other faculty to develop research initiatives; this position provides an opportunity to be part of dynamic and well-established communities of integrative biologists with interests spanning a wide range of taxa in the School of Integrative Biology, as well as many interdisciplinary programs across the campus, including the Illinois Natural History Survey, housing one of the largest US insect collections (with more than 7 million prepared insect specimens). Responsibilities also include teaching and participation in both undergraduate and graduate training.
The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in entomology, biology, zoology, genetics/genomics, conservation biology, or a related discipline. Candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to working with students or faculty from groups historically marginalized or underrepresented in the field through teaching, mentoring, or administration are especially encouraged to apply. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.
