Research may be at any biological scale (genes, individuals, communities, populations, ecosystems), with any group of organisms. We are particularly excited about candidates who use innovative empirical, analytical, computational, or modeling approaches in their research. The successful candidate will also contribute to undergraduate and graduate education, including the teaching of a course in aquatic ecology. Research programs that integrate basic ecological discovery with use-inspired or management-relevant questions are particularly encouraged. There will be opportunities for leveraging ongoing partnerships with state and federal agencies, as well as collaborations with a large assemblage of ISU scientists involved in research on water and environmental resources and with the Iowa Nutrient Research Center, the Iowa Water Center, and the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, all located at ISU in Ames, IA. This is a tenure-track position in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at the rank of assistant professor. The distribution of effort for this position is 70% research, 25% teaching, and 5% service. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. on an ongoing basis without sponsorship. Immigration sponsorship is not available for this position. See the Job Requisition R19216 for details and to apply. Full consideration is guaranteed for applications received by October 4, 2026.
