Applicants must have a Ph.D. and should have post-doctoral research experience and complement existing faculty. Successful candidates are expected to teach courses in their specialty and may teach in the general biology program. The positions are:
Microbial Ecologist: We are seeking an individual who investigates the role of prokaryotes in ecosystem processes, e.g. nutrient cycling, energetics, soils, or interactions with plants, fungi, or insects. The ability to teach general microbiology and expertise in molecular ecological techniques are required. Search Chair: Dr. John F. Walker (walkerjf@appstate.edu).
Ecosystem Ecologist: We are seeking an individual who applies experimental approaches to ecosystem processes, e.g. ecosystem energetics, biogeochemistry, organic matter processing, and/or the effect of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning. Research experience at the terrestrial-aquatic interface and/or with global change biology is desirable. Teaching responsibilities may include ecosystem ecology and global change biology. Search Chair: Dr. Howard S. Neufeld (neufeldhs@appstate.edu).
