We are interested in receiving applications from members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in ecology, evolutionary biology and related fields. Candidates who have demonstrated a strong commitment to remedying the historical under-representation of people of color in the areas of ecology, evolutionary biology and related fields through work promoting inclusion, equity, and diversity through teaching, advising, mentoring, advocacy, or public outreach are especially encouraged to apply. Diversity and inclusion are central to Princeton University's educational mission and its desire to serve society. Members of the department have a deep commitment to being inclusive. We believe that commitment to principles of fairness and respect for all is favorable to the free and open exchange of ideas, so we seek to reach out as widely as possible in order to attract the very best and most talented individuals as students, faculty, and staff.Appointments will be made at the postdoctoral or more senior research rank. Appointments are for one year, renewable annually based on satisfactory performance, for a total of up to three years and includes a research fund.

All applications received by April 30, 2021, 11:59 pm ET will be fully considered, but applications will continue to be accepted until the position(s) are filled.
