biology broadly, and the successful candidate's research expertise might
thus include (but not be limited to) the areas of systematics,
biodiversity informatics, comparative phylogenetics, evolutionary
genomics, conservation biology, evolutionary ecology, and evolutionary
and ecological dynamics in relation to environmental change. The
successful candidate will be expected to maintain a dynamic, field
collections-based, extramurally funded research program, and will have
an inspired vision for the future of the MVZ and museum-based research
more generally. Candidates must have a strong interest in undergraduate
and graduate teaching and will be expected to contribute to instruction
in general and specialized courses. A commitment to expanding and
utilizing museum collections in research, education, and outreach is
required. The MVZ and IB are highly interested in candidates who have
engaged in service towards increasing the participation of individuals
from groups historically under-represented in higher education. For
further information about the MVZ and IB, please visit our websites
