Assistant Professor in Evolutionary Paleobiology

3 months ago


Riverside, California, United States University of California Riverside Full time

The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California invites applicants for a tenure track Assistant Professor. This position is anticipated to be available from July 1, 2024.

UCR Earth and Planetary Sciences is a world-leading leading innovator in revealing the coordinated changes between physical and biological environments during major transitions in Earth's history as well as the relevance of these relationships to planets other than the Earth. Current members of the Department have shown how the mechanics of life's capacity to bio-engineer the planet's oceanic and atmospheric composition and climate is a powerful complement to the geochemistry-based approaches for elucidating Earth history, in which our department is already eminent. A major current strength is hence in determining the empirical chemical and physical record of life's history, and in drawing mechanistic inferences into the processes that governed ancient life directly from the geologic and fossil record itself.
The hiring of a paleontologist focused on the evolutionary record of Earth-Life interaction is a priority in promoting the Departments long term goals in understanding feedbacks between organic and paleoenvironmental evolution. A major opportunity exists to exploit the burgeoning genomic record of living and sub-fossil organisms for direct insights into the evolution of those gene regulatory networks that governed critical steps in the evolution of the Earth-Life system. This can be achieved using a comparative genomic approach based on understanding of the shared genetic information and architecture, and optimized by drawing on a unique campus resource: the Department's extensive recent and fossil collections of Pacific coast invertebrate fossils. This collection is currently being digitized through a grant from the NSF iDigBio initiative, and promotes interactions with the UCR's Center for Integrated Biological Collections and the Institute for Integrative Genome Biology (IIGB). Accordingly, we will seek an individual using specimen-based data to address long-term biotic phenotypic and genotypic change in the context physical changes to the Earth system, particularly with respect to paleoclimate, and in the boarder context of evolving planetary habitability. This hire will complement but significantly expand the Department's current strengths in paleobiology, current and past climate change, and will bridge both with our initiative in Alternative Earth Astrobiology, and with college-wide objectives regarding UCR's natural history archive and genomics, and can also complement interests in BCOE.

The Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California - Riverside, is seeking a tenure track assistant professor who uses specimen-based paleontology to address phenotypic and genotypic change in the context physical changes to the Earth system, particularly with respect to paleoclimate, but also in the boarder context of evolving planetary habitability. This may be achieved using a comparative approach based on both genetic and morphological architecture and could potentially draw on the Department's extensive recent and fossil Pacific coast invertebrate fossil collections. We expect the successfully candidate to have proven ability in both the field and lab. Candidates for this position are required to have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in geology, evolutionary biology, or a related field, and demonstrated excellence in research and teaching. The successful candidate will be fully engaged in the teaching mission of the Department and the College, including formal classroom and field instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and mentoring of baccalaureate, MS, and PhD students in research and the process of knowledge development. Advancement through the faculty ranks at the University of California is through a series of structured, merit-based evaluations, occurring every 2-3 years, each of which includes substantial peer input.
