Assistant Professor - Ecology

The Department of Biology invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant Professor level, starting fall semester 2010. We are seeking highly qualified candidates in the area of Ecology. Postdoctoral experience and a commitment to excellence in liberal arts education are required. Candidates will be expected to teach at all levels of the undergraduate curriculum and to develop an active research program with potential for publication with undergraduates. Start-up funds and excellent research facilities are available.

Teaching responsibilities include participation in the second-year core course in Ecology & Evolution and other courses in the candidate’s area of interest that complement existing departmental strengths. There are additional teaching opportunities in the College’s interdisciplinary Environmental Studies program.

A highly selective liberal arts college located in a suburb of Chicago, Lake Forest College enrolls approximately 1,400 students from over 45 states and 69 countries. At Lake Forest College, the quality of a faculty member's teaching is the most important criterion for evaluation.

The College also expects peer-reviewed publication or creative works and active participation in the College community (http://www.lakeforest.edu). Lake Forest College embraces diversity and encourages applications from women and members of other historically underrepresented groups.

Please send curriculum vitae, statement of teaching interests/philosophy, and research plan, and have letters sent from three references to:
