In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the UMMZ/Herbarium has limited
personnel available working onsite. No loan returns should be shipped
without prior notification, and collection visits, loan requests, gifts,
exchanges, etc. should be coordinated with the appropriate curatorial
staff. Please expect delayed responses. We apologize for any inconvenience
this may cause.

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University
of Michigan seeks exceptional applicants to nominate for the LSA Collegiate
Fellows Program (LCF)
<https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/fellowships-awards/lsa-collegiate-postdoctoral-fellowship.html>
and
the President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP)
<https://presidentspostdoc.umich.edu/>.
<https://presidentspostdoc.umich.edu/> The College of Literature, Science
and the Arts (LSA) and the University seek applicants whose research,
teaching, and service will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in
higher education. The program is particularly interested in scholars with a
demonstrated interest in bringing to their teaching, mentoring, service,
engagement, and/or research the critical perspectives that come from
underrepresented educational backgrounds and pathways or scholarly
understanding of the experiences of groups who are historically
marginalized in higher education. Successful candidates are offered a
postdoc and/or tenure track faculty appointment. Fellows participate in a
program that includes faculty mentoring, professional development, and
academic networking opportunities.

We are interested in applicants working *in any area of Ecology and/or
Evolutionary Biology*. The University of Michigan and EEB have fantastic
resources to build teaching, field and lab programs including the Museum of
Zoology, Herbarium, Biological Science Building, Biological Station, Edwin
S. George Reserve, and Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

We ask that applicants submit their materials to the department by *August
9, 2021*. This early submission is strongly recommended and allows us to
interview candidates in September, prior to the LCF and PPFP program
deadlines. The LCF and PPFP programs consider scholars across multiple
disciplines and are administered by the College of LSA and the Provost’s
Office, respectively. They have slightly different eligibility
requirements, selection criteria, application materials, and deadlines. The
department can assist applicants in confirming their eligibility.

To be considered, please upload a single PDF file containing the following
to https://webapps.lsa.umich.edu/Apply/EEB: (1) curriculum vitae, (2)
research statement, (3) personal statement including commitment to
diversity, equity, and inclusion, (4) teaching statement, and (5) names and
contact information of three references. Research, personal, and teaching
statements
<https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/fellowships-awards/lsa-collegiate-postdoctoral-fellowship/writing-the-application-statements.html>
are
recommended to be up to 2 pages each. Inquiries should be directed to
Department Chair, Trisha Wittkopp (eeb-chair at umich.edu).

The University of Michigan is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. The University is
supportive of dual-career couples.
