Aquatic Ecologist

Assistant or Associate Professor

Appalachian Laboratory



The Appalachian Laboratory of the University of Maryland Center for
Environmental Science (UMCES) solicits applications for a faculty
position as Assistant or Associate Professor to enhance its research
initiative in landscape and watershed ecology.  We are seeking an
ecologist interested in linkages between terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystems.  Possible areas of interest and expertise may include:
population or community ecology of freshwater aquatic or wetland species;
structure and function of riparian systems; in-stream ecosystem
processes; or impacts of land use change on upland aquatic and riparian
ecosystems.


It is expected that candidates will have completed a Ph.D. by the time of
appointment. The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate
with other UMCES faculty members in multidisciplinary research focused on
the Chesapeake Bay watershed and generate external funding to support a
vigorous research program. While the main responsibility of this position
is to conduct research, UMCES faculty members also participate in
graduate education and practical application of science.


Review of applications will begin October 15; however, the position will
remain open until it has been filled.  Applicants should send a
curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests,
selected reprints, and a list of four references (name, address,
telephone, FAX and e-mail) to: Robert H. Gardner, Chair of the Faculty
Search Committee, Appalachian Laboratory, UMCES, Frostburg, MD  21532.
Telephone: 301-689-7125; FAX: 301-689-7200; e-mail:
gardner@al.umces.edu.


UMCES is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.  Women and
minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
