The Department of Biology invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant Professor level in the area of Molecular Evolution. We are seeking biologists who study molecular evolution using theoretical and/or empirical approaches. Preference will be given to candidates whose proposed research program complement and extends existing research activities of the Ecology and Evolution group.
Evolutionary biology at York ranges from phylogenetics to microevolution. Research interests in molecular evolution at York University include quantifying patterns of natural selection across the genome, quantifying patterns of molecular evolution underlying the evolution of complex traits, and studying the molecular mechanisms underlying rapid phenotypic evolution in invasive populations, and the ability of species to adapt to anthropogenic disturbances.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in biology or a related discipline, postdoctoral experience, an outstanding research record, demonstrated excellence or promise of excellence in teaching and scholarly research, and will be expected to develop an innovative independent research program. The successful candidate must be eligible for prompt appointment to the Faculty of Graduate Studies, and will be expected to teach both undergraduate and graduate level courses at the department. Pedagogical innovation in high priority areas such as experiential education and technology enhanced learning is an asset.
