EVOLUTION AND SYSTEMATICS OF FUNGI
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor/Curator

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology together with the University Herbarium seek applications for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in the evolution and systematics of fungi. The position will have a university year appointment. Depending on rank, the successful candidate may be appointed to the Wehmeyer Chair in Fungal Taxonomy.  

We seek outstanding individuals whose primary research interests are in aspects of fungal evolutionary biology such as molecular evolution and systematics, evolution of adaptation, or evolution of development. We are especially interested in individuals who can place evolutionary processes in ecological contexts by collaborating with plant and microbial ecologists in the EEB department and with other systematists in the Herbarium and Museum of Zoology. Teaching may include a course in fungal evolution or diversity, and contributions to core courses in introductory biology, evolution, or genetics. The candidate will also provide scholarly leadership in the use of the Herbarium’s outstanding research collection.
