The Department of Biology at Colorado State University, located in Fort Collins Colorado, is seeking applications for an Assistant Professor specializing in the area of phylogenetics. We are seeking an individual with a research program focused on the theory and practice of phylogenetic inference or comparative methods to answer fundamental biological questions. Potential areas of investigation could include but are not limited to speciation and extinction dynamics, trait evolution, systematics, interspecific hybridization/introgression, phylogenomics, and molecular evolutionary biology. The position is open to candidates working on any taxonomic group(s), as well as those using theory or modeling approaches.

The successful candidate will develop a research program (45%) that interfaces with an integrative and collaborative department of evolutionary biologists, ecologists, geneticists, molecular biologists, physiologists, and organismal biologists, working at scales from molecules to ecosystems. Teaching responsibilities (45%) will reflect the candidate’s area of expertise but may include existing and/or newly developed courses in areas such as evolution, molecular phylogenetics, systematics, organismal diversity, and genetics. The successful candidate will be expected to make impactful service contributions (10%) to the university, their academic community, and broader outreach efforts. Candidates who can enhance the department’s commitment to diversity through research, teaching, and outreach are encouraged to apply.

Required Job Qualifications
