Assistant Professor Position
The Department of Marine Biology at Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position with a 9-month academic appointment beginning August 1, 2024. Applicants will be considered for the faculty title of Assistant Professor.
This person will study the community or ecosystem ecology of coastal or marine environments by practicing, in part, interdisciplinary research, especially projects within the Blue Economy framework. This position will complement the strong base of organismal expertise in the department, with potential to collaborate with many faculty in the Departments of Marine Biology (MARB) and Marine and Coastal Environmental Science. The successful candidate will enhance the teaching and research missions of the department and university.
Potential specialties include, but are not limited to, fundamental research in community and/or ecosystem ecology that addresses climate change, ecosystem management, human impacts, or other applied ecology topics.
The successful candidate will be expected to
1) develop an extramurally-funded and productive research program that is sustainable and identifiable to the person filling this position, which will eventually become internationally recognized. While maintaining a distinctive research program, the person filling this position will also practice interdisciplinary research. The program will support undergraduate research scholars, graduate students, and postdocs, in addition to being well-connected with other programs within MARB, across TAMUG and with the main campus.
2) Teach in the department's undergraduate curricula and offer a graduate class specific to the person's expertise with a teaching load of one course per semester (fall, spring). Potential undergraduate courses may include, but are not limited to, Conservation Biology, Marine Ecology, and Coastal Plant Ecology.
3) Provide service to MARB department in the form of committee memberships, while remaining engaged with discipline-specific scientific societies.
