ArthropodSymbiont<br />
Applications from those studying the evolution of<br />
arthropods and their symbionts are welcomed.<br />
Department of Entomology invites applications for an<br />
Assistant Professor and Assistant Entomologist in the<br />
area of Arthropod Symbiont Interactions at the University<br />
of California, Riverside. Position available July<br />
1, 2013, tenure-track position, 9-month appointment,<br />
25% IR/75% OR. Appointment level and salary commensurate<br />
with experience. Ph.D. in Entomology, Biology,<br />
Microbiology, Ecology or a related discipline is<br />
required; post-doctoral experience is preferred.<br />
The focus of this position will be on studying interactions<br />
between symbionts and their arthropod hosts.<br />
Emphasis will be placed on the use of modern techniques<br />
to elucidate how these interactions shape the<br />
biology, ecology, evolution, and behavior of arthropods<br />
and their symbionts. Applied and basic research<br />
consistent with the mission of the Agricultural Experiment<br />
Station directed toward managing arthropod<br />
pests and/or vectors of diseases is expected. Teaching<br />
responsibilities include supervision of graduate students,<br />
participation in undergraduate instruction (e.g.<br />
entomology, microbiology, ecology, or evolution), as<br />
well as a graduate course taught in an area of interest.<br />
Interactions with the other research groups in interdepartmental<br />
programs are encouraged.<br />
Send a curriculum vitae, statements of research interests,<br />
teaching interests and philosophy, up to<br />
three select reprints of publications, manuscripts<br />
in press, and arrange for four confidential letters<br />
of recommendation to be sent to: Dr. Richard<br />

Faculty Position- Assistant Professor EvolutionaryEcol<br />
University of California, Riverside<br />
The Department of Biology invites applications for a<br />
9-month tenure-track faculty position in the area of<br />
Community Ecology, starting July 1, 2013. We are<br />
searching for an empirical ecologist who studies relationships<br />
between interacting species and their environment.<br />
Examples of research focus could include (but are<br />
not limited to) community assembly, consumer-resource<br />
dynamics, evolutionary ecology, including ecological genetics<br />
and genomics, interactions between ecology and<br />
evolution, and responses of communities to stressors<br />
such as climate change and invasive species. The ideal<br />
candidate will have a strong field component to their research<br />
and expertise in advanced statistical techniques.<br />
The successful candidate will join a vibrant community<br />
of researchers in the Department of Biology, The Ecology,<br />
Evolution and Organismal Biology Graduate Program,<br />
the Center for Conservation Biology, the Center<br />
for Invasive Species Research, the Institute for Integrative<br />
Genome Biology, and have access to modern campus<br />
facilities in genomics, proteomics, microscopy, stable<br />
isotope analysis, geographic information systems,<br />
ecological sensing technologies and field stations and facilities.<br />
Consult www.biology.ucr.edu for details about<br />
the department. Applicants will be expected to pursue<br />
vigorously extramurally-funded research and contribute
