Assistant Professor in Marine Biology and Ecology - Marine Biomedical Science or Quantitative Systems Ecology

The Department of Marine Biology and Ecology (MBE) at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the broad areas of Marine Biomedical Science or Quantitative Systems Ecology. We seek innovative scientists with an outstanding research and education record who can enrich our department through cutting-edge research, engaged teaching, mentoring, and service.

Position Overviews

Marine Biomedical Science

We seek a researcher who will bridge marine organismal biology, physiology, and environmental health with biomedical or translational relevance. The successful candidate will develop a vibrant, externally funded research program that complements a departmental mission to understand how environmental and physiological stressors, such as hypoxia, infection, aging, pollution, and climate change affect health and disease across species. We are particularly interested in candidates who use marine or aquaculture models to study topics such as:

• Stress physiology, immunology, or neurobiology in marine organisms
• Molecular or cellular responses to disease, environmental change, pollutants, or pathogens
• Aquatic models of cancer including tumor initiation, progression, and environmental co-factors
• Marine microbial ecology and microbiome studies tied to organismal health or adaptation
• Marine ecosystem health and links to human infectious and chronic disease
• Comparative or translational approaches linking aquaculture species to human health
• Sustainable aquaculture, nutrition, and microbiome-host interactions
• Marine natural products or bioactive compounds with biomedical potential

Quantitative Systems Ecology

We seek a researcher who will focus on the quantitative study of population, community, and landscape/seascape ecology. The ideal candidate would be a field-based population/community ecologist working in coastal systems, who applies modern approaches in causal inference, experimental ecology, spatial modelling, and data science, including the use of machine learning to produce rigorous quantitative analyses. We particularly encourage candidates who would develop research and education programs in the following areas:

• Local ecosystems such as coastal bays (i.e., Florida Bay, Biscayne Bay), coral reefs, mangroves, seagrasses, and wetlands.
• Fisheries, protected species, and coastal ecosystem management, potentially in collaboration with scientists at the NOAA NMFS and AOML laboratories, and the NOAA's Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) housed at the Rosenstiel school.
• Quantitative analysis of marine population and ecosystem dynamics in relation to anthropogenic impacts including coastal development, climate, and pollution.
• Seascape dynamics, including animal movement and trophic interactions, and influences of human and natural drivers on habitat composition and configuration

The appointee will join a dynamic, cross-disciplinary research community with strengths in neuroscience, genetics and genomics, physiology, environmental toxicology, microbiology, climate-health science, fisheries science and policy, aquaculture, quantitative and coastal ecology and engineering, social science, atmospheric science, geology, and oceanography. The position includes opportunities for collaboration with the Glassell Family Center for Marine Biomedicine, the Robert K. Johnson Center for Marine Conservation, the Climate Resilience Institute, the Institute for Data Science and Computing, which maintains one of the top academic supercomputing facilities in the US, and access to state-of-the-art core facilities (including the Experimental Hatchery and the National Aplysia Resource). In addition to collaborations with Rosenstiel faculty, marine biomedical candidates are encouraged to consider potential collaborations with faculty at UM's Miller School of Medicine Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The Rosenstiel School has a 96- foot shallow-draft UNOLS vessel for inshore-to-offshore ocean research, a fleet of small boats (15-36 ft) for easy access to local coastal ecosystems (mangroves, seagrass, coral reefs) and well-established scientific diving and boating programs. The Rosenstiel campus offers access to seawater facilities, including indoor labs and state-of-the science outdoor coral and aquaculture facilities.

The Department of Marine Biology and Ecology consists of 25 faculty working in ecology, restoration, genomics, fisheries, toxicology, physiology, immunology, and diseases of marine organisms. The Department has active doctoral, master's, and professional master's graduate programs and a large undergraduate program. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant field, appropriate postdoctoral training, a robust publication record, and be able to demonstrate strong funding potential. Successful candidates will be expected to contribute to UM academic programs through research, teaching, mentorship, and advising of both graduate and undergraduate students.

The Department of Marine Biology and Ecology recognizes that good science and innovation benefit from different approaches and points of view. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply, and we are continuously striving to create an environment where everyone feels empowered to be their authentic selves. The successful candidate must have a clearly articulated vision of how their work at Rosenstiel will contribute to an academic environment where all students, staff, and faculty can thrive by developing a strong sense of culture and belonging.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and separate statements of research and teaching interests, which also describe a vision towards facilitating a culture of belonging at the Rosenstiel School as well as the names and contact information of at least three references.

The position will remain open until filled, but to receive full consideration, applications should be received by April 15. We anticipate conducting Zoom interviews in the spring and in person interviews in the fall with an anticipated start date of spring 2027. Questions may be directed to MBEsearch@earth.miami.edu.
