The Scripps Institution of Oceanography invites applicants whose research
focuses on the biology of marine fishes for an assistant professorial
position. Possible research areas include (but are not limited to)
evolution, comparative morphology, phylogenetics, biogeography, speciation,
genetics, genomics, behavior, ecology, and physiology. The successful
candidate will have the ability to interact with colleagues at SIO and
other departments within the large and dynamic UCSD campus. We seek
applicants with the expertise and desire to teach at the undergraduate and
graduate level, including a core graduate course on fish diversity.
The successful candidate will be expected to serve as the faculty Curator
of the SIO Marine Vertebrate Collection (MVC), for which there is
additional salary compensation. Previous curator/collections experience is
preferred but not required. The MVC is among the world's preeminent
collections of marine fishes maintaining approximately two million
alcohol-preserved specimens in over 120,000 lots, representing nearly 6,000
species. It includes worldwide holdings of deep-sea and pelagic fishes as
well as extensive holdings of coastal fishes from the entire eastern
Pacific. The MVC supports scientific research by providing specimens for
studies on fish biology and evolution and plays an integral role in the
support of research and graduate and undergraduate education at SIO. The
faculty Curator oversees the MVC’s full-time collection manager, actively
uses the collection in their research and teaching, and devotes time to
raising financial support for the collection.
Candidates will be evaluated on their potential ability to establish a
vigorous research program, provide intellectual leadership in their field,
acquire extramural funds, teach and mentor graduate students, teach in the
marine biology undergraduate major, and help build an equitable and diverse
scholarly environment. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based
on University of California pay scales.

Applicants who are also competitive at the Associate/Full level are
encouraged to apply here, as well:
