The Biology Department at Berry College seeks a tenure-track assistant professor of biology to begin in August 2025. The successful candidate is expected to establish a strong teaching and research program that emphasizes terrestrial ecology, with special consideration given to candidates who can utilize Berry's vast and biologically rich campus. We particularly encourage applicants with expertise in forest, plant, or fungal ecology. This faculty member will offer courses and research opportunities that help students understand and explore their relationship with the natural world and gain hands-on professional growth and research experiences in ecology, including collaboration with our growing Environmental Sciences and Studies program. Berry College's stunning 27,000-acre campus in a biologically rich ecoregion affords opportunities that cannot be duplicated elsewhere. The surrounding area extends the opportunities and includes forests, rivers, and other ecosystems that are home to many rare and endemic species. The biology department is known for innovative pedagogy, collaboration across disciplines, and mentorship of students from a wide range of backgrounds. The candidate should share our commitment to student engagement both inside and outside of the classroom, as well as our desire to promote opportunities for students from underrepresented groups and to foster a culture of belonging. Berry is committed to increasing the diversity of our faculty and staff; we welcome applications from all groups and strongly encourage women and persons of color to apply for this position.
