Description
The School of Integrative Biology and the Department of Entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invite applications from outstanding scholars with a stellar record of accomplishments and an international reputation for excellence to hold the Kearns Metcalf and Flint Endowed Chair in Insect Toxicology, a full-time, 9-month faculty position at the level of full professor with indefinite tenure. Salary is commensurate with qualifications. Toxicology is defined broadly here to encompass the study of any chemical substance with detrimental effects on arthropods and thus candidates working in the areas of chemical ecology, venom biology, insect pathology, plant-insect interactions, chemical signaling, and allied disciplines are welcome to apply, as are candidates working on pesticide mode of action, detoxification, environmental persistence, and resistance evolution. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an externally funded research program, teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and collaborate with other faculty to develop research initiatives. The ideal candidate will work at the interface of some combination of toxicology, physiology, molecular genetics, and genomics. The proposed start date is August 16, 2020. To ensure full consideration please create your candidate profile through https://go.illinois.edu/KMFChair and upload your application materials: application letter addressed to search committee chair Dr. Gene Robinson, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, statement of teaching philosophy and experience, and contact information for three or more professional references by the closing date of January 20, 2020. Letters of recommendation may be requested electronically from referees at a later date. Only applications submitted through the University of Illinois Job Board will be considered. For further information, contact Kearns Metcalf and Flint Endowed Chair in Insect Toxicology Search Committee sib@life.illinois.edu or call 217 333-3488. Applicants may be interviewed before the closing date; however, no hiring decision will be made until after that date.
