The University of New Mexico is hiring two faculty-curators:
Assistant Professor & Curator of the Herbarium
Assistant Professor & Curator of Herpetology
We invite applications for two tenure-track faculty-curator positions at the Museum of Southwestern Biology (MSB), a natural history collections facility within the Department of Biology of the University of New Mexico (UNM). Each position will be Assistant Professor of Biology; one will be Curator of the Herbarium, and the other will be Curator of Herpetology.
We seek colleagues with demonstrated commitments to (1) collecting and curating natural history specimens; (2) using specimens to address fundamental questions in biology; (3) pursuing a vigorous, externally funded research program; (4) advancing the integration of specimens into the fields of botany or herpetology, respectively; (5) achieving excellence in teaching and mentoring; and (6) diversity, equity, inclusion, student access, as well as working with a diverse community.
UNM is both a research intensive university (Carnegie R1) and a minority-majority institution. It is located in Albuquerque, a city with a rich cultural heritage in a biodiverse, scenic landscape. The Department of Biology is family-friendly and comprises ~30 tenure-track faculty members (https://biology.unm.edu/core-faculty.shtml<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbiology.unm.edu%2Fcore-faculty.shtml&data=02%7C01%7Cjessica.bazeley%40yale.edu%7C74e6c859bdff4e56749808d720e83c3a%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C637014054172921920&sdata=uBnkOWcSKAGfgtvtDX5KV3yKXA8qwWkByWZrX6Kbzko%3D&reserved=0>), ~1500 undergraduate majors, a thriving graduate training program, and a vibrant portfolio of extramurally funded research.
