Summary:
The
School
of
Natural
Resources
and
the
Environment
(SNRE)
in
the
College
of
Agriculture
and
Life
Sciences
(CALS)
at
the
University
of
Arizona
(UA)
is
seeking
to
fill
a
tenure-eligible
position
in
the
area
of
large
mammal
landscape
ecology.
The
state
of
Arizona
is
facing
unprecedented
environmental
challenges
as
a
result
of
change
brought
by
a
host
of
factors
including
climate,
water
scarcity,
population
growth,
wildfire,
invasive
plant
species,
and
habitat
fragmentation.
As
the
state's
land-grant
institution,
the
UA
must
mount
and
sustain
a
campaign
that
will
allow
us
to
(1)
conduct
research
that
will
help
us
understand
and
anticipate
the
nature
of
these
challenges
and
(2)
train
the
next
generation
of
decision-
makers,
managers
and
citizens
to
address
these
challenges
in
a
way
that
advances
the
interests
of
our
citizens
while
maintaining
the
environment
that
sustains
us.
The
successful
candidate
will
be
expected
to
develop
a
progressive
and
productive
research
program
focused
on
the
ecology,
conservation,
and
management
of
large
mammals
on
watershed
and
larger
geographic
scales
with
relevance
to
environmental
change,
and
to
teach
and
contribute
to
the
overall
mission
of
the
School
of
Natural
Resources
and
the
Environment.
Teaching
will
include
an
upper-
level
undergraduate
course
in
the
conservation
and
management
of
mammals
and
a
graduate-level
course
in
the
candidate's
area
of
expertise.
The
extramurally
funded
research
program
should
demonstrate
a
commitment
to
seek
solutions
to
applied
problems
in
the
conservation
of
large
mammals
