[Coral-List] Research Faculty Position at the University of Miami

[Lirman, Diego]

Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor or Research Professor in Marine Biology & Ecology, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, University of Miami



The Department of Marine Biology and Ecology (MBE) at the University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), is seeking candidates with research experience in marine biology and ecology for the position of Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor, or Research Professor. Research experience in the responses of marine/estuarine organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems to climate change and other environmental impacts is desirable.



The Department of Marine Biology and Ecology consists of 16 faculty working in ecology of coral reefs and other marine and estuarine systems, and on the genomics, physiology, toxicology, neurophysiology, immunology and diseases of marine fish and invertebrates (https://marine-biology-ecology.rsmas.miami.edu/index.html). The MBE Department has an active PhD and MS program and a large undergraduate program. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant field, appropriate training, and experience illustrated by a strong publication and funding record.



Research faculty positions are supported largely by extramural funding. To qualify for a research-track position, applicants will need to demonstrate significant current funding for their research activities, including 9 months of salary support. In addition to expectations of scholarly productivity (for which the University of Miami will provide 1 month of salary support annually), the successful applicant is expected to teach two courses annually in the Department of Marine Biology and Ecology (providing an equivalent of 2 months of salary coverage annually) and to supervise graduate and undergraduate student research.



The Department of Marine Biology and Ecology recognizes that good science and innovation need different approaches and points of view that can only be achieved through diversity. We encourage diverse applicants to apply and we are continuously striving to create an environment where everyone feels empowered to be their full, authentic selves. The successful candidate must have a clearly articulated vision of how their work at RSMAS will contribute to the University’s continuing mission of serving the needs of historically underrepresented and marginalized student communities in higher education.



Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae including current grant support, separate statements of research and teaching interests which also describe a vision towards facilitating diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as the names and contact information of at least three references to www.miami.edu.careers<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miami.edu.careers%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cmschmale%40rsmas.miami.edu%7C64e938332fe64c071f9e08d8984a01e3%7C2a144b72f23942d48c0e6f0f17c48e33%7C0%7C0%7C637426790925651411%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=yrk6OUjXDl9Ay92op56UWcXffzxdOM38eE0Vyf77BfU%3D&reserved=0>, position R100048026-1.
