Assistant. Professor in Limnology/Aquatic Ecology‏, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

The School of Natural Resources (SNR) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
is seeking an assistant professor (tenure-track, 9-month appointment) to
conduct basic and applied research in aquatic ecology and limnology. We
seek individuals whose research integrates theory and basic science with
applied issues to address emerging environmental challenges in managed
ecosystems. Areas of expertise may include water quality, invasive
species, land-use impacts, ecotoxicology, and other topics that improve our
understanding of the structure, function and health of surface water
ecosystems. The individual will be expected to teach courses in aquatic
ecology, limnology and other water quality topics contributing to
undergraduate and graduate programs in SNR which includes bachelor’s
degrees in Water Sciences, Fisheries and Wildlife, Environmental
Restoration Science, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees Natural Resources Sciences.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop external funding in
support of their research and teaching program; supervise undergraduate and
graduate students; publish research and teaching results in scholarly
literature and refereed publications and present findings at various
venues. Additional responsibilities will include collaboration with other
UNL faculty to enhance research and teaching missions of the School,
advise/mentor undergraduate and graduate students in the Natural Resources
majors. Teaching responsibilities are expected to be at 0.30 FTE or
greater. As part of a recent campus-wide initiative that integrates water
science, engineering, policy, and law, this position will complement recent
Water Resources Research Initiative hires in aquatic chemistry, river
ecology, water law, water economics, water policy, climate modeling,
physical limnology, environmental engineering and hydroinformatics. We seek
a highly motivated individual who is willing to take an active role in
promoting research, education, and interdisciplinary interactions
associated with this broader initiative. The successful candidate will
also have the option of affiliating with a new international “Water for
Food Institute” currently being established on campus.

To apply, go to http://employment.unl.edu requisition #090713 and complete
the “Faculty Academic Administrative Information form.” Applicants must
attach a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research and teaching
interests, and names and complete contact information for at least three
references. Review of applications will begin on October 1, 2010, but the
position will remain open until filled. For more information please
contact Steve Thomas at sthomas5@unl.edu.
