Job description

Job Description:

The Department of Biology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) at the University of Florida invites applicants for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level focused on theoretical and quantitative approaches to the ecology and evolution of infectious disease. We are seeking an exceptional scholar to establish an externally funded research program to investigate fundamental questions on the dynamics of infectious disease and host-parasite systems using mathematical, quantitative or computational approaches. The position is aimed at deepening our theoretical and mathematical understanding of infectious disease systems, but we are open to applicants engaged in collaborative research at any level of biological organization, from cells to ecosystems, and in any system (e.g., marine, terrestrial, freshwater). This research program would ideally be broadly collaborative in nature, include both undergraduate and graduate students, and complement existing strengths in theoretical ecology and evolution in the department and across campus. Teaching could include contributions to the undergraduate curriculum in ecology and evolution, and specialized courses such as theoretical infectious disease biology, and the evolution of pathogens.

The successful candidate would have an opportunity to interact with researchers in a wide variety of programs and units related to infectious disease at the University of Florida, including the UF Emerging Pathogens Institute, the Florida Museum of Natural History, the UF Genetics Institute, the UF Biodiversity Institute, the UF Informatics Institute, the Center for Statistics and Quantitative Infectious Diseases in the College of Medicine, and the Departments of Physics and Mathematics (among others) within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The candidate would also have access to extraordinary data management and analysis resources, including one of the nation’s most powerful supercomputers.

Expected Salary:

The salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience, and the compensation includes a full benefits package.

Benefits:

This faculty position is eligible for a comprehensive benefits package that includes state medical, dental, and vision plans; life and disability coverage; multiple retirement options; and paid time away and university holidays.

Required Qualifications:

PhD in Biology, Computational Biology, Applied Mathematics or Biomathematics, or related field

Preferred:

PhD in Biology or Biomathematics
