********************Jobs******************** Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Integrative Environmental and Organismal Health The Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology (EEOB) in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University (ISU) seeks an integrative biologist working on the effects of environmental change on ecological or organismal health. The ideal candidate will have an integrative research program at any biological scale, from molecules to ecosystems, using any mixture of advanced experimental, computational, and/or analytical approaches and technological tools (e.g., artificial intelligence, remote sensing, environmental informatics, predictive modeling, and/or environmental genomics). Research should address pressing societal questions about organism responses to environmental change, disease risk, environmental resilience, adaptability, evolutionary medicine, ecological health and well-being, epigenetics, or other related topics. The successful candidate is expected to establish an externally funded research program and contribute to undergraduate and graduate education, including an introductory course in environmental health and an advanced course in an area of expertise. This is a tenure-track 9-month position at the rank of assistant professor, with a tenure-home appointment in EEOB (100%). Candidates must hold a Ph.D. by the time of appointment. All applications must be submitted electronically at https://isu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/IowaStateJobs (job # R18375, full link below*). Please be prepared to attach a letter of application, a research statement, a teaching and mentoring statement, a curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three referees. The position will remain open until filled. Full consideration will be given to applications received by February 15, 2026. For additional information please email physiol@iastate.edu. EEOB is a vibrant and collegial department of 16 faculty. EEOB has a strong mentoring system for junior faculty and is committed to ISU's principles of community. Faculty contribute to undergraduate and graduate education through departmental and interdepartmental programs, and conduct innovative research in ecology, evolution, and organismal biology, using integrative approaches that bridge traditional scientific disciplines and levels of biological organization. Iowa State University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, sexual orientation, genetic information, national origin, marital status, disability, or protected veteran status, and will not be discriminated against. Iowa State University is a comprehensive, land grant, Carnegie Doctoral/Research Extensive University with an enrollment of over 30,000 students. The university is located in Ames, IA, one of the nation's most highly rated metropolitan areas of its size (https://www.iastate.edu/life-at-iowa-state/campus-and-ames) and is only 35 miles north of Des Moines. *Position URL: https://isu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/IowaStateJobs/job/Ames-IA/Assistant-Professor-in-Integrative-Environmental-and-Organismal-Health_R18375 Dr. Nicole Valenzuela (she/her) Professor Dept. of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology Iowa State University Office: 337 Bessey Hall Mailing Address: 2200 Osborn Dr. Room 251 Bessey Hall Ames, IA 50011-4009 URL https://faculty.sites.iastate.edu/nvalenzu/ "Valenzuela, Nicole [EEOB]" (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca) ********************WorkshopsCourses******************** Dear colleagues, There are 2 slots available for the course "Geometric Morphometrics for Beginners". Geometric morphometrics is useful tool in the study of evolution because it allows researchers to precisely quantify and compare shape variation among organisms. Course webpage: https://www.transmittingscience.com/courses/geometric-morphometrics/geometric-morphometrics-for-beginners/ The aim of this course is to introduce participants to geometric morphometric methods for quantifying biological shape variation. The course will cover landmark and semi-landmark data acquisition, Procrustes alignment, PCA of shapes, and interpretation of morphometric results. By the end of the course, students will be able to: * Understand the foundations of geometric morphometrics. * Interpret morphometric variation in biological datasets. Instruction will combine lectures, guided examples, and practical exercises.

There are still a few seats for our upcoming online course "Unix and Shell Scripting for Bioinformatics", taking place on 12-16 January 2026. Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/unix/ ) This hands-on course is designed for biologists with no prior Unix experience who want to gain practical command-line skills for bioinformatics. Participants will learn how to work efficiently in Unix/Linux environments, process large biological datasets (including NGS data), and automate analyses using shell scripting. Through guided exercises and real-world examples, the course will cover essential Unix commands, file and system management, software installation, text processing, and the construction of reproducible bioinformatics pipelines. For the full list of our courses and workshops, please have a look at: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/unix/ ) We look forward to welcoming you to this practical introduction to Unix for bioinformatics.
