Job Description:

The Department of Biology at the University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant/Associate Professor level in Evolutionary Developmental Biology. We are searching for an outstanding scientist addressing fundamental questions in evo-devo; however, applicants who complement the existing strengths of our department and who can also contribute to a university-wide initiative in Biomaterials are particularly encouraged to apply. Potential areas of research interests include, but are not limited to, regenerative studies with a focus on extracellular matrices, the evolution and development of biomineralized structures, plant cell walls, spider silk or other biological novelties that can potentially be exploited for biologically-inspired materials research. We seek candidates with a Ph.D. and a minimum of two years postdoctoral experience who have demonstrated creativity and productivity in research and have a strong interest in undergraduate and graduate education. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to interact with a growing community of integrative scientists in the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, Math, Computer Science, Biochemistry, and Psychology, as well as the Miller School of Medicine, Rosenstiel School for Marine and Atmospheric Science, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and Abbess Center for Environmental Science & Policy.

Inquiries may be directed to the Search Chair at evodevo@bio.miami.edu. Details on the Department of Biology and our strengths and foci can be found at: http://www.as.miami.edu/biology/

Applications should include a full curriculum vitae listing all publications and contact information of three references. Copies of three relevant publications and statements of research objectives and teaching interests should also be included. A cover letter outlining how the applicant will complement the current research areas of the Department of Biology, and link with a campus-wide initiative on interdisciplinary approaches to biomaterials should be included.

The position will remain open until filled; priority will be given to those applications received by November 15, 2014. Application materials must be uploaded at http://content.as.miami.edu/biology/about-the-department/apply/.
