Tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Evolutionary Genomics at the University of Tennessee
The Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (EEB) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, seeks applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Evolutionary Genomics. We invite applicants whose research leverages modern genomic tools and statistical approaches to address fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. We are particularly interested in candidates working on functional and evolutionary genomics in any system—plant, microbe, or animal (including humans)—who bring innovative, integrative approaches to large-scale genomic data analysis.
Successful candidates will complement and expand existing departmental strengths in ecology, evolution, animal behavior, genetics, and/or quantitative biology. We seek individuals with strong interdisciplinary backgrounds spanning biology, bioinformatics, statistics, and computational methods, who are eager to collaborate across EEB and the broader Division of Biology, including opportunities at the National Institute for Modeling Biological Systems (NIMBioS) and data science initiatives on campus, as well as at the nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Applicants could also integrate our nearby field resources (including Great Smoky Mountains National Park, national forests, and natural areas), extensive biodiversity collections, and advanced computational and sequencing facilities into their research program.
