Assistant Professor, Oklahoma State Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management

The Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management (NREM) at Oklahoma State University invites applications for a full-time, eleven-month, tenure-track positions at the Assistant Professor rank.

Global Change Ecology and Management
(75% research/25% teaching)
We are seeking a candidate to research and teach global change consequences for wildlife habitats, populations and distributions.  Potential areas for research include assessing vulnerability of species and ecosystems to projected climate and land use changes, potential risks for threatened or endangered plant and animal species caused by global change, increased threat from invasive species due to habitat and land use changes, and effects on native plant and animal species due to alterations of key habitats such as prairie potholes, oak woodlands, and tall grass prairie.  The candidate is expected to establish a nationally recognized, externally funded research program in the area of natural resource management to address global change issues.  Teaching responsibilities include an undergraduate course emphasizing wildlife habitat ecology and natural resource management that integrates current and future management issues, and a graduate course in the area of the candidate's expertise.  Other responsibilities include advising and mentoring undergraduate students, recruiting and training graduate students, and serving on departmental, college, and university committees.
