The Department of Biology and Program in Animal Behavior at Indiana University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in ANIMAL BEHAVIOR. We seek candidates with a conceptually driven research program to complement existing strengths in Biology’s Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior (EEB) Program and the Center for the Integrative Study of Animal Behavior within the Program in Animal Behavior. The specific focus within animal behavior is open, but we especially encourage applicants whose research uses evolutionary or ecological approaches to understand the function and diversity of behavior and/or integrative, biologically informed approaches and modern techniques to understand the physiological mechanisms of behavior. Start date is flexible, from Aug 2024 to Aug 2025.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. and have postdoctoral experience in relevant fields, with a strong record of research accomplishments. Successful candidates will be expected to develop a vigorous externally funded research program, and to participate in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Department of Biology and Program in Animal Behavior are committed to recruiting and retaining diverse faculty, and we strongly encourage applications from members of historically marginalized groups. We also welcome candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to working with people from groups that are underrepresented in STEM, through teaching, mentoring, or administration.
