The Division of Biological Sciences (https://biology.ucsd.edu/), Section of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution invites applications for a faculty position in Developmental Evolutionary Biology at the tenure-track Assistant Professor level. We are looking for a scientist who investigates evolutionary questions through mechanistic studies of the developmental or physiological processes that produce phenotypic variation. Research topics could include, but are not limited to: evolutionary innovation - including the evolution of new cell types, new characters, and new levels of organization; the origin, evolution, and consequences of developmental constraints; phenotypic plasticity and genetic accommodation; and the evolution of genotype-phenotype maps. Applicants who incorporate field, laboratory, and/or theoretical components in their research would be welcome. The successful applicant will join a growing coterie of labs at UCSD working at the intersection of developmental and evolutionary biology.
The Division of Biological Sciences at UCSD is a vibrant center of scientific discovery, innovation, and collaboration. Our large research base spans many areas of biology and has one of the most celebrated graduate programs in the country. We are committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body. This is where discovery comes to life.
All candidates must have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, and be committed to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
