Assistant Professor in Evolution of Microbiomes
University of California Irvine (UCI)
 University of California Irvine Assistant Professor in Evolution of Microbiomes Open date: September 1st, 2019 Last review date: Monday, Nov 11, 2019 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Applications received after this date will be reviewed by the search committee if the position has not yet been filled. Final date: Tuesday, Dec 31, 2019 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time) Applications will continue to be accepted until this date, but those received after the review date will only be considered if the position has not yet been filled. Description The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of California, Irvine, invites applications for one tenure-track assistant professorship in evolution of microbiomes. A microbiome is defined as a community of microorganisms - bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi and other microeukaryotes - that inhabit all of Earth's environments ranging from the human body to oceans and soils. Most evolutionary research is conducted on a single species. Microbes adapt rapidly, even over several days. Microbial evolution within a community context is therefore key to understanding how microbiomes respond to disturbance. Within humans or other hosts, a disturbance might be a change in diet, disease progression, or administration of a treatment or probiotic. In the environment, disturbances can include environmental changes in nutrients and climate driven by anthropogenic activities. Potential research areas for the position include (but are not limited to) the evolution of antibiotic resistance in a community context, the evolution of microbiomes in response to global change, the evolution of drug metabolism, host-microbiome coevolution, or the comparative evolution of microbiomes across hosts. The home department of this researcher would be in EEB, with the possibility of an additional appointment in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry (MBB). The successful candidate is expected to develop an independent, externally funded research program leading to innovations in microbiome research. Building synergistic connections with existing research programs is encouraged. The candidate will also contribute to teaching and mentoring at the graduate and undergraduate levels and to university and professional service. The researcher would join an actively growing and collaborative group of campus faculty studying the microbiomes of hosts and the environment and organized and facilitated by the UCI Microbiome Initiative - http://microbiome.uci.edu/. EEB and MBB are part of the School of Biological Sciences, a vibrant community of scholars comprised of over 120 faculty members including Fellows of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Royal Society. Biological Sciences at UCI is highly interdisciplinary with many connections to the Schools of Medicine, Physical Sciences, Information and Computer Sciences, and Engineering, among others. UCI is a Minority Serving Institution (MSI), designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and as an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI). These federal designations align with UCI's aspiration to be a national leader and global model of inclusive excellence. UCI is a top ten public research university that excels at improving outcomes for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and as a consequence has consistently been ranked as the best university in the nation in promoting upward mobility of its graduates. The position will be open until filled. Review of applications will begin November 1, 2019.
