Microbial ecology: relationships to the environment and human health
Assistant professor
The University of Michigan invites applications for two tenure-track assistant professor positions in microbial ecology: one in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts; and one in the Department of Epidemiology in the School of Public Health.
These positions are two of four new positions university-wide for establishing an interdisciplinary cluster in microbial ecology. The ideal candidate will use modern molecular biology techniques (the ‘omics), or complex or multi-level modeling in an ecological or epidemiological context, and will be expected to participate in ongoing and new interdisciplinary activities focused on the ecology of microorganisms and their relationship to the environment and human health.
Departmental affiliation will be set by mutual agreement, and teaching duties will be based on curricular needs of the home department. Applicants should have advanced training in microbiology, disease ecology, epidemiology, or a related field. Information regarding this cluster hire and links to all participating departments and related research and education initiatives can be found at https://sitemaker.umich.edu/encrypt/microbial.ecology/home.
To apply, please provide:
- a cover letter identifying primary department of interest
- complete curriculum vitae
- statement of current and future research plans that emphasizes how interdisciplinary approaches and an ecological perspective are integrated in your research
- statement of teaching philosophy and experience
- evidence of teaching experience
- three letters of recommendation

Computational biologists with or without an empirical laboratory component to their research programs are encouraged to apply. Opportunities also exist for using the large collections of the Museum of Zoology and Herbarium.
To apply, please email cebsearch@umich.edu a single PDF file that includes a complete curriculum vitae, a statement of current and future research plans, a statement of teaching philosophy and experience, evidence of teaching excellence, and copies of publications.
