We seek candidates who will strengthen our marine biology program (http://www.auburn.edu/cosam/departments/biology/marine-biology.htm) and also complement our core area in Behavior, Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation (http://www.auburn.edu/cosam/departments/biology/dbs_core_areas/beec_core_area/index.htm). We welcome candidates with research interests in population and community dynamics, invasive species biology, host-symbiont interactions, disturbance ecology, and other aspects of marine global change.  Auburn University has formal ties to Dauphin Island Sea Laboratory (https://www.disl.org/), which offers new faculty unique opportunities to build research collaborations.  The candidate will have teaching responsibilities in undergraduate marine science or related courses, and will be expected to develop or contribute to a graduate course in their research specialty.
