Ecology and Evolution Faculty Position at Fordham University

Applications are invited for a tenure-track position in Ecology or
Evolutionary Biology at the Assistant Professor level in the
Department of Biological Sciences at Fordham�s Rose Hill Campus in
the Bronx, New York, beginning Fall 2026.

The applicant will conduct research in ecology, evolutionary biology
or the intersection of these fields in an area that complements the
existing strengths of the department. Applicants will contribute
to graduate and undergraduate teaching and research mentoring.

We offer undergraduate biology majors and non-majors courses,
connection with the Environmental Sciences program, MS and PhD
graduate programs in Biology, and a graduate Conservation Certificate.

We have research facilities at the Rose Hill campus in the Bronx
and at the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station and are
especially interested in recruiting a colleague whose research
program could include research, training and mentoring activities
at the station.

Members of the Department collaborate with colleagues and programs
at institutions including the neighboring New York Botanical Garden
(NYBG) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)/ Bronx Zoo and
the American Museum of Natural History. We also work with state and
local agencies. Fordham is part of the Bronx Science Consortium
which includes Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore
Health System, the NYBG and the WCS.

Applicants are required to have a Ph.D. in a life science or related
field, and should have postdoctoral or equivalent experience and a
record of published work. The successful candidates will be expected
to supervise an independent research program that will attract
extramural funding, provide research opportunities and mentoring
for graduate and undergraduate students and offer professional
service to the Department and University.

To apply, submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, contact information
for three references, research and teaching statements, and three
reprints via Interfolio https://apply.interfolio.com/171620.

Questions can be directed to the Biological Sciences Department
Chair Dr. Evon Hekkala (ehekkala@fordham.edu).

For full consideration, applications should be received by October
10, 2025.

Fordham is an independent, Catholic University in the Jesuit tradition
committed to excellence through diversity. We encourage candidates
of all backgrounds to apply, and we especially seek candidates who
show a commitment to broadening participation of members of
underrepresented groups in the sciences.
