Successful candidates will join a broadly-based department committed to educational and scholarly excellence and faculty and student diversity. Founded in 1906, the department is poised, with the support of the University and the Ohio Board of Regents, to move toward international preeminence as a comprehensive botanical education and research program. A Ph.D. in botany or a closely related discipline is required, along with a genuine commitment to excellence as a teacher-scholar.
Postdoctoral experience is preferred.
Successful candidates will teach courses at the introductory and advanced levels, develop a vigorous, extramurally-funded research program, and mentor graduate and undergraduate student research projects. The successful candidate will establish an active research program complementing departmental programs in structural and developmental botany, plant molecular biology, and functional genomics. Instructional and research collaboration with faculty in the interdepartmental Graduate Molecular Biology Program is also expected. It is expected that the successful candidate will interact with a strong group of ecologists and environmental scientists across the University in curricular initiatives. The department offers B.S. and A.B. degrees in Botany and Botany-Environmental Science as well as the M.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Botany, and collaborates with other departments in offering an M.A.T. in Biological Science.
