The Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University
invites applications for a full-time, 12-month tenure track Assistant
Professor in Conservation Genomics and Molecular Ecology with 75%
research, 15% teaching, 5% outreach, and 5% service assignment. The
position will primarily focus on questions related to the management
of fishes and fisheries in close partnership with the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources.

The position start date is anticipated to be fall 2024. APPLICATION
REVIEW WILL BEGIN ON MARCH 8, 2024.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic faculty, postdoctoral
and student community in departmental and campus-wide programs with
expertise in applications of genomic methods in natural resources
management, ecology, and evolutionary biology, with a focus on
natural resources management. The Department seeks individuals
trained in areas including but not limited to spatial genetic
structuring and recruitment dynamics of fish and wildlife populations,
population analysis using genetic information, statistical genetics,
and genomic data analysis. Other skills and research responsibilities
could include next-generation sequencing, transcriptomics, eDNA
monitoring, diet metabarcoding, aquatic invasive species control,
understanding stressor effects on fish populations using genetic
data, bioinformatic analyses, and use of genetics data in improving
hatchery fish performance will be considered. Any area of expertise
that has the potential to significantly advance natural resources
management and the sound stewardship of natural resources in Michigan,
across the Great Lakes region, and nationally will be considered.
This individual will teach graduate-level Conservation Genetics and
a graduate or undergraduate course yet to be determined.
