Question Arizona State University: Assistant Research Professor - Ant Biodiversity

The Arizona State University (ASU) School of Life Sciences (SOLS) is seeking a Biodiversity Assistant Research Professor with specialization in ant systematics, evolution and ecology (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Formicidae). This is a new, primarily research-focused position set up through a combination of a fund (endowment) donated to the ASU Foundation by ant researcher Dr. Robert A. Johnson, with additional support from The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Biodiversity Knowledge Integration Center (BioKIC). The position is initially set up for 10 years, and includes salary, full university benefits, and an annual research stipend to support the position's research activities. Programmatically, the position is embedded within BioKIC, the ASU Biocollections, and the Social Insect Research Group (SIRG). Jointly, these groups will provide access to diverse, state-of-the-art research collections (e.g., the NEON Biorepository), biodiversity informatics infrastructure, and lab facilities, including morphological and genomic research lab spaces and computing resources. Faculty leaders in BioKIC and SIRG will provide continued, effective academic mentorship and career development support. For additional information and to submit an application, please refer to:  apply.interfolio.com/135564  Initial deadline for applications: November 29, 2023.Prior inquiries to Dr. Nico Franz (This email address is being protected from spambots.
