The Department of Biology at the University of Iowa invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Evolutionary Ecology, with the position to begin at the start of the 2027-2028 academic year: https://jobs.uiowa.edu/faculty/view/75951
We invite applications from candidates whose research addresses how the interactions of organisms, populations, or species with their environments affect, or are affected by, evolutionary processes. Candidates whose research can connect with the Biology Department’s emphasis area “Resilience and Adaptation” are especially encouraged to apply. Existing strengths within Biology (https://biology.uiowa.edu/) include sex and meiosis, speciation, cell and developmental biology, behavior, neurobiology, and genomics. Opportunities also exist for collaboration with scholars in other departments on campus (e.g., Anthropology, Earth, Environment, and Sustainability, Psychological and Brain Sciences, Mathematics).
The successful candidate will also be expected to teach courses in areas connected to evolutionary ecology, mentor undergraduate and graduate students, and foster a welcoming and respectful academic and work environment.
The Department of Biology is in the heart of downtown Iowa City, IA (https://downtowniowacity.com/), a lively and accessible midwestern college town. A UNESCO City of Literature (the first in the U.S.) and the site of several annual cultural festivals, Iowa City has been named one of the happiest and most livable small cities in the country.
Informal inquiries about the position can be directed to Dr. Tina Tootle, Chair of Biology (tina-tootle@uiowa.edu) or to Dr. Andrew Forbes, Chair of the Hiring Committee (andrew-forbes@uiowa.edu)
