We seek candidates working in coastal or estuarine systems and whose research focus is in ecology, evolution or organismal biology of invertebrates in these systems. Individual interests could span from local to global scales and across multiple levels of biological organization (population, community, ecosystem), and should be complementary to the expertise of current biology faculty and faculty in other departments throughout ODU . This person would play a key role in the very popular Marine Biology Concentration Program for undergraduates. Hampton Roads borders the largest estuary in North America, and ODU Biology faculty have been the lead investigators for the Chesapeake Bay Monitoring Program for over three decades.
The successful candidates are expected to develop and maintain active research programs that are externally funded, teach undergraduate and graduate courses, and contribute to service in the department. The invertebrate position will share in teaching of the high-demand courses in invertebrate zoology and marine ecology, and the new hire would develop a course in wetlands invertebrate ecology or other courses of interest.
