The School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS) at the University of
Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) invites applications for tenure-track, full-time
assistant/associate professorships in marine biology in the Institute of
Marine Science, one with a specialty in mammalogy/population genetics
and one with a specialty in early life ecology. Both positions are
located in Fairbanks, Alaska, and are part of the SFOS vision to
strengthen the UAF marine science program by adding at least twelve new
faculty over the next several years. Review of applications for both
positions will begin on Friday, 7 December 2007, and continue until the
positions are filled.
Assistant/associate professor of marine biology with a specialty in
mammalogy/population genetics:
Candidates for this position should have interests in marine mammalogy,
biogeography, and evolutionary concepts in the northern North Pacific
and/or Arctic oceans. Knowledge of GIS applications is preferred.
Qualified applicants must possess a PhD in marine biology or related
field from an accredited university by the time of hire, be proficient
in English, and have university-level teaching ability and a strong
research and publication record appropriate to their experience and date
of degree.

Assistant/associate professor of marine biology with a specialty in
early life ecology:
Candidates for this position should have interests that include
physiological processes and adaptations in marine invertebrates and/or
macroalgae. Applicants should have a bottom-up approach to nearshore
ecology with a focus on macroalgal or invertebrate early life history
stages in the northern North Pacific and/or Arctic oceans. A strong
background in spatial statistics is preferred.
Qualified applicants must possess a PhD in marine biology or related
field from an accredited university by the time of hire, must be
proficient in English, and have university-level teaching ability and a
strong research and publication record appropriate to their experience
and date of degree.

Search" and enter position number 0054183. You will be asked to attach a
CV, statement of interest, and contact information for three references.
Candidates for both positions should be enthusiastic about teaching and
have strong scientific and academic expertise in marine biology. The
successful candidates must have significant interest in using SFOS
marine laboratory facilities and/or interdisciplinary marine research
that takes advantage of the phenomenal opportunities offered by Alaska's
vast and diverse marine ecosystems. The successful candidates will be
expected to develop vigorous externally funded research programs,
complement and collaborate with existing research programs in SFOS
and/or other UAF departments, teach core and specialty marine biology
courses (including summer field courses), and mentor and recruit
graduate students.
Alaska has vast ocean resources including more than half of the nation's
coastline, three-quarters of the continental shelf, and the largest
fishery in the world. UAF, Alaska's research university and America's
Arctic University, embraces the distinction of being one of the few
Land, Sea and Space Grant universities in the country. SFOS has 55
faculty working at the varied locations of the school and 135 graduate
students engaged in thesis research in Alaska waters and throughout the
world.
