Statement of the Job:
The School of Marine Sciences at the University of Maine is excited to invite applications for a marine biologist to focus on the American lobster (Homarus americanus), a species of immense ecological, cultural, and economic significance in the Gulf of Maine. We encourage candidates who bring expertise in invertebrate zoology, ecology, physiology, or related fields, and who are dedicated to pursuing both fundamental and applied research that bridges laboratory, field, and modeling studies.

Initial teaching responsibilities will include teaching a core course for undergraduate Marine Sciences majors, along with the opportunity to contribute other undergraduate or graduate courses within the candidate's area of specialization, particularly focused on American lobsters. The candidate will also play a vital role in mentoring both graduate and undergraduate students in their research theses, dissertations, capstone projects, and academics, and may have the opportunity to advise postdoctoral research associates.
