The Department of Biological Sciences at Clemson University invites
applications for 2 open rank positions in Ecology, Evolutionary, and
or Organismal Biology. We anticipate that one position will be offered
at the Full or Associate Professor level with tenure, and one at the
level of tenure track Assistant Professor. The anticipated start date
is August 2025.

Clemson University, the College of Science, and the Department of
Biological Sciences are committed to building a community of inclusive
excellence and creating a sense of belonging, where faculty scholars
are dedicated to working and teaching in a welcoming environment that
empowers students to be positive change agents.

We expect candidates for both positions to bring innovative, high
impact research programs to Clemson while complementing the Departments
research strengths We are open to any research area in EEOB that
strengthens current research in the department, including those
who integrate across systems or scales while applying laboratory,
field, and or computational approaches. Two research priority areas
for Clemson University, the College of Science, and the Department of
Biological Sciences are Biodiversity and Sustainability and Human Health,
and exceptional resources exist on campus to support this research.
The Clemson Experimental Forest is a unique 17500 acre campus adjacent
facility that can support large scale, long term experimentation and
serves as a key ecological corridor for plant and animal communities of
the Piedmont and Blue Ridge Mountain ecoregions of the Southeast U.S. In
addition, Clemson is home to four NIH funded Centers of Excellence in
Biomedical Research and Education COBRE, including one in Human Genetics
and one in Eukaryotic Pathogens. We highly encourage applications from
candidates who can leverage these resources to enrich their research
programs, while also promoting the use of their own systems, methods,
and tools to explore innovative questions in EEOB.

The Department is one of the largest on campus with 1,700 plus
undergraduates and nearly 200 graduate students across B.A., B.S.,
M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs in both Biological Sciences and
Microbiology, as well as graduate degrees (M.S./Ph.D.) in Environmental
Toxicology. In addition, the department offers an online, non-thesis
M.S. in Biological Sciences for teachers and science educators interested
in biological sciences. The successful candidates will inspire our
student body by contributing to the department's teaching mission.

Qualifications
Candidates under consideration at the Assistant Professor rank should
have a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree with an advanced background in
biological sciences or a related discipline. Candidates should present
evidence of productive postdoctoral research experience as demonstrated
by an excellent research and peer-reviewed publication record. Strong
candidates will demonstrate extramural funding or significant potential
for such, as well as effectiveness in teaching undergraduate and graduate
students (M.S. and Ph.D.) appropriate for the Assistant Professor level.
Candidates under consideration at the Associate or Full Professor rank
will have a Ph.D. and tenure or equivalent at their current institution
and an excellent record and trajectory of accomplishment leading a
successful academic, federally funded research program. This includes
graduating doctoral students, mentoring postdoctoral fellows, effective
teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels, and fostering inclusive
excellence.
