Stanford University
Assistant Professor
PALEOBIOLOGY
The Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Stanford
University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty appointment at
the Assistant Professor level in the area of Paleobiology. We are looking
for a person with a demonstrated research record and who is committed to
quality undergraduate and graduate teaching. While we will consider
applications from individuals in all areas of paleobiology, emphasis will
be placed on candidates who have an understanding of the broad evolution
of life on Earth and research experience in one or more of the following
areas: (1) the origin and early evolution of life, (2) relationships
between the evolution of life and the major physical processes and events
in Earth history, (3) external driving forces of major biological
extinctions and radiations, and (4) climatic-ocean history and the
evolution of the ancient marine biota. Interdisciplinary approaches are
of special interest, but applicants must have a clear grounding in
geology. We are seeking an individual who applies fundamental biological
and geological principles, quantitative data, and field-based studies to
characterize and model biological evolution.
Although the position will remain open until filled, applications,
including a curriculum vita, a statement outlining research and teaching
interests that would materially contribute to related programs in the
School of Earth Sciences, and the names and addresses of three referees,
should be sent by April 1, 2005, to:
Paleobiology Search Committee,
Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences,
Stanford University,
Stanford,
CA 94305-2210
Questions can be directed to Prof. Donald R. Lowe

or Prof. Stephan A. Graham

Stanford University has a strong institutional commitment to the
principle of diversity. In that spirit, we particularly encourage
applications from women, members of ethnic minorities, and individuals
with disabilities.
