*Ecologist, Ecological Modeler, & Fisheries Stock Assessment:* The 
Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences (DOCS) within the 
College of the Coast and the Environment at Louisiana State University 
(LSU) is seeking outstanding applicants to fill up to 3 tenure- track 
faculty positions. Successful candidates must possess a Ph.D. within 
their discipline and a strong record of research accomplishments and 
publications, or the capacity to build the same in the case of emerging 
scholars. A history or potential to attract extramural funding and to 
work with interdisciplinary teams that include doctoral students, 
post-docs, and research associates is expected. An individual candidate 
may apply for a position in one or more of the three core areas listed 
below:

_Fisheries Stock Assessment Scientist (Assistant or Associate 
Professor): _Seeking candidates from the fisheries sciences including 
expertise in stock assessment, computational ecology, population 
dynamics modeling, quantitative fisheries science, mathematics, and/or 
statistics. A successful candidate will be expected to use quantitative 
approaches to study fish population dynamics and to advance the science 
of fisheries stock assessment. He/she must be capable of 
teaching/developing a course in stock assessment in support of the 
Graduate Certificate in Fisheries Science and Assessment offered by DOCS 
and the LSU Graduate School.

_Ecological Modeler (Assistant Professor): _Seeking candidates that use 
mathematical and simulation methods for understanding and predicting 
population, multispecies, community, and food web dynamics, including 
classical and agent-based approaches. We encourage applications from 
those who combine modeling and empirical research that may extend to 
coastal, estuarine, and/or marine fish population ecology and trophic 
dynamics.

_Ecologist (Assistant Professor):_ Seeking candidates from academic 
backgrounds in ecology, including, but not limited to feeding 
relationships, environmental drivers, resource supply and demand and 
population, community and ecosystem level processes. Candidates who 
conduct empirical research related to spatial management, coastal, 
estuarine or marine ecosystem dynamics at spatial scales ranging from 
estuaries to the deep ocean are encouraged to apply. Duties of the 
positions include developing and maintaining a rigorous, 
externally-funded research program in the related area of discipline; 
teaching courses in a relevant area of specialty and courses based on 
departmental needs; collaborating on multidisciplinary research 
projects; mentoring graduate and undergraduate students and providing 
service to DOCS, LSU, and the State of Louisiana.

Minimum Qualifications: Ph.D. in science field. Preferred 
Qualifications: Ph.D. in fishery science, quantitative ecology, marine 
science, or related field. Postdoctoral experience is encouraged. Please 
provide three professional references including name, title, phone 
number and e-mail address. Attach a Statement of Research and Statement 
of Teaching on your application. Applications that arrive before March 
31 will get full consideration.
