Position description
Associate or Full Professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), UC San Diego - Fish Biologist-Ichthyologist/Curator
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography invites applicants whose research focuses on the biology of marine fishes for an associate or full professorial position. Possible research areas include (but are not limited to) evolution, comparative morphology, phylogenetics, biogeography, speciation, genetics, genomics, behavior, ecology, and physiology. The successful candidate will have the ability to interact with colleagues at SIO and other departments within the large and dynamic UCSD campus. We seek applicants with the expertise and desire to teach at the undergraduate and graduate level, including a core graduate course on fish diversity.
The successful candidate will be expected to serve as the faculty Curator of the SIO Marine Vertebrate Collection (MVC), for which there is additional salary compensation. Previous curator/collections experience is preferred but not required. The MVC is among the world's preeminent collections of marine fishes maintaining approximately two million alcohol-preserved specimens in over 120,000 lots, representing nearly 6,000 species. It includes worldwide holdings of deep-sea and pelagic fishes as well as extensive holdings of coastal fishes from the entire eastern Pacific. The MVC supports scientific research by providing specimens for studies on fish biology and evolution and plays an integral role in the support of research and graduate and undergraduate education at SIO. The faculty Curator oversees the MVC's full-time collection manager, actively uses the collection in their research and teaching, and devotes time to raising financial support for the collection.
Candidates will be evaluated on their documented ability to establish a vigorous research program, provide intellectual leadership in their field, acquire extramural funds, teach and mentor graduate students, teach in the marine biology undergraduate major, and help build an equitable and diverse scholarly environment. Rank of appointment and salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales.
