The School of Biological Sciences at Illinois State University in Normal, IL (https://biology.illinoisstate.edu/) invites applications for a nine-month tenure-track position in BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY at the level of Assistant Professor. We seek candidates whose research addresses how the environment drives animal behavior across ecological and evolutionary scales and can synergize with existing programs in the school. Successful candidates are expected to establish a rigorous, nationally recognized, and extramurally funded research program. Research programs should include undergraduate and graduate students, and our new colleague should be an active mentor to both of these student populations. They should be able to contribute to an undergraduate ecology course and ethology at the graduate level, with the potential to contribute to undergraduate animal behavior or organismal courses. The University and the School of Biological Sciences are committed to fostering an environment that promotes the success of faculty, staff, and students to enrich the scholarly experiences for the ISU campus and greater community. Candidates that have broad experience working with a range of faculty, staff, and students, and a demonstrated commitment to fostering a positive community are encouraged to apply. We are sensitive to the needs and invested in the success of dual career partnerships. The School of Biological Sciences comprises 21 tenure track faculty, 7 instructional faculty, approximately 65 graduate students (M.S. and Ph.D.), and approximately 685 undergraduate majors. We value research and teaching and offer a collegial environment fostering research collaboration among ecologists, conservation biologists, evolutionary biologists, cell and molecular biologists, physiologists, and neuroscientists. We also offer opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations within the college or the university. The School of Biological Sciences features several cutting-edge shared facilities, including a confocal and live-cell imaging center, flow cytometry, vertebrate and aquatic animal housing, and greenhouses.
