Position description The College of Biological Sciences at the University of California, Davis invites
applications and nominations for a 9-month, tenure-track position in the Department of Evolution and Ecology at the ASSISTANT PROFESSOR level. The Department of Evolution and Ecology is seeking a plant evolutionary biologist with interests in the evolution of plants at any taxonomic, geographic, organizational, or evolutionary scale. Candidates must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in the biological sciences,
evolutionary biology, ecology, genetics, or a related field, and will be expected to complement and build upon existing faculty strengths in the Department of Evolution and Ecology and across UC Davis. We welcome applicants working on any group of plants and using empirical, computational, experimental, and/or theoretical approaches. Possible areas of study are broad, and include macroevolutionary research on plant
diversification, trait evolution in a phylogenetic context, major evolutionary innovations, comparative genomics, and evolutionary developmental biology, as well as research focusing at or below the species level including population biology, quantitative genetics, adaptive evolution, speciation, biogeography, and the evolution of life histories or species interactions. The Department of Evolution and Ecology is home
to a collaborative and internationally recognized community of evolutionary biologists and ecologists, with close ties to the Center for Population Biology, the UC Davis Genome Center, and the graduate groups in Population Biology, Integrative Genetics and Genomics, and Ecology. The successful candidate will join a vibrant intellectual community with exceptional opportunities for collaboration across departments,
