Open Rank Tenure-Track Faculty in Marine Microbial Ecology
The Department of Biological Sciences at Florida International University (https://biology.fiu.edu) invites applications for an Open Rank, (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor) position in Marine Microbial Ecology to add to FIU’s growing expertise in understanding the Biscayne Bay ecosystem. This position is one of multiple positions funded across multiple academic Departments by the new Biscayne Bay initiative, including a complex systems modeler (Department of Mathematics and Statistics), a biogeochemist (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry) and a coastal physical oceanographer (Department of Earth and Environment). Scientists who study nutrient cycling, microbial metabolism, oxygen depletion, benthic-pelagic coupling, and/or water quality regulation are encouraged to apply. Candidates using modern molecular tools, including big data/omics approaches, that can integrate their research with the new, state-of-the-art Water-Omics Facility to investigate natural and anthropogenic stressors within Biscayne Bay and surrounding waters are especially encouraged. The successful candidate will be expected to have a strong publication record, maintain an active, externally-funded research program, supervise graduate students in our graduate program, and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in their area of expertise and in the general marine sciences curriculum. This search is open-rank, but hires at the Associate or full Professor level will require transferrable research funds. The successful candidate will be expected to work across disciplines with their colleagues in the Institute of Environment (https://environment.fiu.edu/)
Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply to Job Opening ID 533915 at careers.fiu.edu
