Hiring is expected at the Assistant Professor level, but mid-career candidates will be considered. Apply or inquire at: cellbio9@nd.edu
Epidemiology. We seek faculty candidates who use epidemiological approaches to study diseases of global health importance. Applicants using theoretical modeling or field-based systems to study disease control or transmission for any pathogen or vector of concern in developing countries are encouraged to apply. Individuals are expected to participate in the initiatives of the Eck Institute for Global Health. Hiring is expected at the Associate Professor level, but candidates at any level will be considered. Apply or inquire at: epidem9@nd.edu
Ecology. We invite applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of ecology. We particularly encourage applications from ecologists whose research intersects with existing programmatic strengths in aquatic ecology, environmental change, and conservation biology. Interest in the interdisciplinary activities of the Center for Aquatic Conservation and the Environmental Research Center is a positive. Hiring is expected at the Assistant Professor level.
