Assistant Professor in Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Disease Apply now Job no: 537810 Work type: Tenure-Track Faculty Location: Main Campus (Gainesville, FL) Categories: Biology/Life Science, Education/Training/Instructional Design Department:16900000 - LS-BIOLOGY Classification Title: Assistant Professor in Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Disease Classification Minimum Requirements: Candidates for this
rank shall hold the highest degree appropriate to their field or possess equivalent qualifications based on professional experience. A candidate shall be expected to demonstrate successful experience pertinent to the position they are being recommended and have demonstrated qualities relevant to the goals of the academic unit in which they will be employed. Job Description: The Department of Biology in the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) at the University of Florida invites applicants for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level focused on theoretical and quantitative approaches to the ecology and evolution of infectious disease. We are seeking an exceptional scholar to establish an externally funded research program to investigate fundamental questions on the dynamics of infectious disease and
host-parasite systems using mathematical, quantitative or computational approaches. The position is aimed at deepening our theoretical and mathematical understanding of infectious disease systems, but we are open to applicants engaged in collaborative research at any level of biological organization, from cells to ecosystems, and in any system (e.g., marine, terrestrial, freshwater). This research program would
ideally be broadly collaborative in nature, include both undergraduate and graduate students, and complement existing strengths in theoretical ecology and evolution in the department and across campus. Teaching could include contributions to the undergraduate curriculum in ecology and evolution, and specialized courses such as theoretical infectious disease biology, and the evolution of pathogens. The successful
candidate would have an opportunity to interact with researchers in a wide variety of programs and units related to infectious disease at the University of Florida, including the UF Emerging Pathogens Institute, the Florida Museum of Natural History, the UF Genetics Institute, the UF Biodiversity Institute, the UF Informatics Institute, the Center for Statistics and Quantitative Infectious Diseases in the College of
