Faculty Position in Ecology and Evolution of Zoonotic Pathogens
Director of Pathogen Biorepository

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) and the Michigan
Center for Infectious Disease Threats (MCIDT) invite applications for a
full-time tenured or tenure-track position at the intersection of ecology,
evolution, and epidemiology of zoonotic pathogens.  The anticipated start
date will be August 29, 2022.  The successful applicant will maintain
a thriving research program and serve as the Director of a new Pathogen
Biorepository (M-PABI). M-PABI is part of the broader campus-wide MCIDT
initiative aimed at increasing capacity for, and coordination of studies
of, emerging infectious diseases at the University of Michigan. Successful
candidates will have research programs that engage a One Health approach
to understanding and predicting emergent zoonotic threats and address
disease ecology and evolution, relationships between environmental
health, host biodiversity and epidemiology, host-pathogen interactions,
and related areas. We specifically seek individuals with strengths
in developing research coordination networks, acquiring and utilizing
collections-based pathogen surveillance data, and quantitative methods
for integrating such data with models for monitoring and predicting
zoonotic emergence. Successful applicants will present a clear vision
for the role of the new biorepository in studying emerging infectious
diseases. The successful candidate, as a member of the EEB Museums,
will have opportunities for curation and research using world-class
biodiversity collections in a modern facility.

The University of Michigan is located in Ann Arbor, a vibrant community
with excellent schools and amenities, and proximity to both natural
areas and the city of Detroit.

All application materials should be submitted online through
webapps.lsa.umich.edu/Apply/EEB.  Materials should include  a
cover letter, CV, a concise (2-4 page) statement describing current
and future research plans, a statement of teaching philosophy and
experience, a statement of commitment and contributions to diversity,
equity and inclusion in academia, and contact information for three
references. Application review will begin February 15, 2022 and continue
until the position is filled or until April 15, 2022. Questions about
this search should be directed to Linda Garcia (garciall at umich.edu),
Executive Secretary.

EEB is committed to fostering diversity in its faculty, including with
respect to race, ethnicity, gender, and disability status. Women and
members of other groups underrepresented in science are particularly
encouraged to apply. The university supports the needs of dual career
couples. The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative
action employer.  Offers for this appointment are contingent on successful
completion of a background screening.

COVID-19 vaccinations are now required for all University of Michigan
students, faculty and staff across all three campuses, including
Michigan Medicine, no later than one week before their first day of
employment. This includes those working or learning remotely.  More
information on this policy is available on the Campus Blueprint website.
