The Department of Biology at UNC Chapel Hill (https://bio.unc.edu/) is
searching for a Plant Evolutionary Biologist at the Assistant Professor
level.  This is part of a cluster hire that includes two plant molecular
biologists.

We seek candidates asking important questions in plant evolutionary
biology. Topics of interest may include but are not limited to
biodiversity, macroevolution, evolutionary response to global change,
or evolutionary mechanisms. We especially encourage applications from
scientists who study evolution across scales and integrate different
approaches, such as genomic, molecular, phylogenetic, or computational
techniques; and/or who combine laboratory experimentation with studies
of natural populations.

All candidates must have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, have
post-doctoral research experience, and be committed to teaching at the
undergraduate and graduate levels. Successful candidates are expected
to build an active research group, secure competitive external funding,
and participate actively in the scientific community at UNC-CH.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a vibrant
center of scientific discovery and innovation, with a commitment to
collaboration. Our large research base spans many areas of biology
and supports several outstanding graduate programs. The Department of
Biology consists of over 50 faculty engaged in basic and interdisciplinary
research, within the department and between other departments and schools
at UNC.

Successful candidates will have opportunities for synergy with other
units at UNC such as the curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology,
the Curriculum in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, the
Environment, Ecology, and Energy Program, the Departments of Geography,
Earth Marine and Environmental Sciences, and Applied Physical Sciences,
the NC Botanical Garden and Herbarium, the School of Data Science, the
Institute of Convergent Sciences, The Galapagos Center, the Institute
for the Environment, and the Carolina Biodiversity Collaborative.

UNC faculty, postdocs and graduate students routinely interact with
colleagues at nearby Duke and North Carolina State Universities, and
institutions in Research Triangle Park. The quality of life in North
Carolina's Triangle area is consistently rated among the highest in
the nation.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is an equal opportunity
and affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to age, color, disability,
gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information,
national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or status as
a protected veteran.

curriculum vitae, a research statement (~3 pages), a teaching and
mentoring statement (~1 pages), and 3 representative publications
(uploaded as "Writing/research Sample", "Other Document", and
"Other Document 2"). The cover letter should state the names
and contact information for four references. The online application
will also prompt you for referee names and email addresses. If
added to the application, referees may receive automated emails
with instructions for submitting letters of recommendation to the

effective on or after July 1, 2025. Referees should submit signed
letters of recommendation on institutional letterhead. For further
details contact biolsearch@unc.edu or servedio@email.unc.edu.
