From: Phil TownsendSubject: Job Announcement 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.
