The Museum of Paleontology and the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Michigan are searching for a full-time tenure-track faculty candidate in the field of Paleontology at the assistant professor/assistant curator level. This is a university year appointment with an expected start date of August 29, 2022. The Museum of Paleontology has recently relocated its internationally significant collections of plant, invertebrate, and vertebrate fossils to the new Research Museums Center. Paleontology faculty labs and offices are in the newly completed Biological Sciences Building, which houses biology units (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology) and the Museum of Natural History.
We seek applicants who have broad research and teaching interests within developing areas of evolutionary or environmental paleontology. The Museum and Department invite applicants in fields including, but not restricted to: macroevolution, interactions between developmental biology and evolution, extinction dynamics, paleoecology, organismal paleobiology, and biotic responses to global change. We will consider outstanding applicants in any of these areas, and are particularly interested in candidates whose work bridges subdisciplines within paleontology and Earth sciences. Taxonomic expertise is expected, with preference for areas that add new curatorial strength.
