Faculty: Limnologist/aquatic ecology
Limnologist/Aquatic Ecologist:
University of Nebraska
The School of Natural Resources (SNR) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is seeking an assistant professor (tenure-track, 9-month appointment) to conduct basic and applied research in aquatic ecology and limnology. We seek individuals whose research integrates theory and basic science with applied issues to address emerging environmental challenges in managed ecosystems. Areas of expertise may include water quality, invasive species, land-use impacts, ecotoxicology, and other topics that improve our understanding of the structure, function and health of surface water ecosystems. The individual will be expected to teach courses in aquatic ecology, limnology and other water quality topics contributing to undergraduate and graduate programs in SNR which includes bachelor’s degrees in Water Sciences, Fisheries and Wildlife, Environmental Restoration Science, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees Natural Resources Sciences.

Additional responsibilities will include collaboration with other UNL faculty to enhance research and teaching missions of the School, advise/mentor undergraduate and graduate students in the Natural Resources majors. Teaching responsibilities are expected to be at 0.30 FTE or greater. As part of a recent campus-wide initiative that integrates water science, engineering, policy, and law, this position will complement recent Water Resources Research Initiative hires in aquatic chemistry, river ecology, water law, water economics, water policy, climate modeling, physical limnology, environmental engineering and hydroinformatics. We seek a highly motivated individual who is willing to take an active role in promoting research, education, and interdisciplinary interactions associated with this broader initiative. The successful candidate will also have the option of affiliating with a new international “Water for Food Institute” currently being established on campus.
