Marine Invertebrate Biologist<br>
<br>
The Department of Marine Biology and Ecology (MBE) formerly<br>
known as the Division of Marine Biology and Fisheries (MBF)<br>
<<a href="http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/academics/graduate-programs/degrees/marine-biology-fisheries/" target="_blank">http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/academics/graduate-programs/degrees/marine-biology-fisheries/</a>><br>
at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric<br>
Science, RSMAS <<a href="http://rsmas.miami.edu/" target="_blank">http://rsmas.miami.edu/</a>> , invites applications for a<br>
tenure-track position in Marine Invertebrate Biology as part of a broad<br>
strategic plan involving 16 faculty hires over the coming few years.<br>
<br>
This will be a 9-month guaranteed salary position and is intended to be at<br>
the rank of Assistant Professor but exceptional applicants at other ranks<br>
will be considered. The anticipated start date is August 2015.<br>
<br>
We are searching for an outstanding candidate working on any marine<br>
invertebrate group and questions. Potential research areas include, but are<br>
not restricted to: comparative or developmental physiology,<br>
organism-environment interactions, toxicology, climate change impacts,<br>
ecological and/or evolutionary genomics, or ecology. Preference will be<br>
given to applicants applying a broad range of techniques and approaches with<br>
strong potential for within and among department collaborations, as well as<br>
interactions with our Coral Gables <<a href="http://miami.edu/" target="_blank">http://miami.edu/</a>> and Medical campuses<br>
<<a href="http://med.miami.edu/" target="_blank">http://med.miami.edu/</a>> .<br>
<br>
Research interests of the faculty in MBE span, in no particular order,<br>
fisheries/population level biology; coastal and coral reef biology, ecology<br>
and conservation; organismal biology; marine health and biomedicine, and<br>
biological oceanography. The successful applicant will be housed in the<br>
recently inaugurated 85,000 sf Marine Technology and Life Sciences Seawater<br>
<br>
Complex <<a href="http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/seawater" target="_blank">http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/seawater</a>> that hosts<br>
state-of-the-science biological and chemical labs for seawater research and<br>
hands-on teaching. In addition, the hire would have access to marine<br>
invertebrate culture facilities associated with our NIH-supported National<br>
Resource for <<a href="https://cc1.rsmas.miami.edu/slugs/" target="_blank">https://cc1.rsmas.miami.edu/slugs/</a>> Aplysia, as well as the<br>
extensive collections of our Marine Invertebrate Museum<br>
<<a href="http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/resources/invertebrate-museum/" target="_blank">http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/resources/invertebrate-museum/</a>>. The hire will<br>
also have access to on-campus research vessels, including the F.G. Walton<br>

<<a href="http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/resources/broad-key/" target="_blank">http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/resources/broad-key/</a>> (a 63-acre island<br>
recently acquired as a field station for marine research and education, as<br>
well as a pool currently under construction for the training of scientific<br>
divers.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will contribute to teaching and mentoring students<br>
at the undergraduate and graduate level, and is expected to teach<br>
Invertebrate Zoology in our top-ranked Marine Sciences undergraduate<br>
<<a href="http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/academics/undergraduate/" target="_blank">http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/academics/undergraduate/</a>> (B.S.) program, and<br>
related courses in our graduate programs<br>
<<a href="http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/academics/" target="_blank">http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/academics/</a>> (Ph. D., M. S. and Professional<br>
Masters).<br>
<br>
The RSMAS campus is located on Virginia Key, a unique community of marine<br>
research and educational institutions 15 minutes from downtown Miami,<br>
Florida. Approximately $250M per year is invested in marine science and<br>
education on Virginia Key, including RSMAS, the NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic<br>
and Meteorological Laboratory, the NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center,<br>
the Miami Seaquarium, and the Maritime and Science Technology Academy<br>
(MAST).<br>
<br>
Applicants must have a Ph. D. in a relevant field, appropriate postdoctoral<br>
training, and the ability to establish and maintain a vigorous,<br>
extramurally-funded research program. A complete application includes a<br>
cover letter, curriculum vitae, separate statements of research and teaching<br>
interests, and the names and contact information of at least three<br>
references. The position will remain opened until filled, but to receive<br>
full consideration, applications should be received by January 15, 2014. We<br>
