The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University invites applications for an Assistant Professor in Global Change Ecology. We seek a colleague who studies the impacts of global change on aquatic or terrestrial populations, communities, ecosystems, and/or biomes, and who focuses on understanding the processes underlying these changes. We view global change as having a myriad of dimensions ranging from land use change to habitat fragmentation, climate change, pollution, urbanization, perturbations to global nutrient cycles, alien species invasions, etc., as well as novel types of synergistic and antagonistic interactions among these. We encourage applications from those who use any combination of laboratory, field, statistical or theoretical approaches, and are particularly interested in candidates with integrative research programs that complement the mission of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. A record of outstanding achievement and a promising research program are more important than the specific research area or study system.

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, CV, three relevant publications or preprints, a research statement that is no more than three pages, a teaching statement that is no more than two pages, and contact information for three references at http://apply.interfolio.com/164677. Applicants may contact the Department Chair, David Vasseur at david.vasseur@yale.edu with any questions regarding the position. The search will remain open until the position is filled. Review of applications will begin August 15, 2025. The anticipated appointment start date is July 1, 2026.
