Assistant Professor of Applied Avian Ecology
About The Position
The Department of Natural Resources and the Environment in the College of Life Sciences and Agriculture seeks to hire a tenure-track assistant professor who conducts applied research in avian ecology, with a focus in terrestrial systems. We are particularly interested in candidates whose research addresses population and/or community responses to anthropogenic change, including landcover, land use and climate change, and who will develop a local or regional component to their research program, consistent with the land grant mission of the University of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station. Additional areas of interest could include disease ecology, life history evolution, behavioral or physiological ecology, urban ecology, or human-wildlife interactions. Preference will be given to candidates whose taxonomic and research foci complement those of existing faculty in the department and college, and who will bring new methodologies and disciplinary training to complement existing departmental expertise. The propensity to build a field-based research program that engages undergraduate students is desirable, as is the ability to collaborate broadly within the Department and the College. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a vibrant, externally supported research program, engage natural resource managers and other external partners, deliver high quality teaching and mentorship for undergraduate and graduate students and in courses appropriate to their expertise and consistent with Departmental needs, and participate in university service.
