Establish a nationally recognized, externally funded research program in insect ecology (e.g., behavior, plant–insect interactions, community ecology, conservation, or global change biology). Publish in peer-reviewed journals and engage students in research.

Contribute to departmental, college, and university service, engage with scientific societies, review manuscripts and grant proposals, and participate in outreach.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

Demonstrated teaching experience at the undergraduate and/or graduate level.

Expertise in one or more areas of insect ecology (e.g., IPM, invasive species, pollination biology, vector ecology, trophic interactions, global change, or molecular/community ecology).

Ph.D. in Entomology or a related field, with a proven publication and funding track record (as PI/Co-PI or lead author).

JOIN OUR TEAM!

Online now: Fix—do not ditch—the fundamental niche
dlvr.it
Fix—do not ditch—the fundamental niche
The realized niche captures only a fraction of the conditions in which a species can survive and reproduce, yet remains the basis for most predictions of how species respond to global change. No matter how sophisticated species distribution models have become, reliance on the realized niche biases forecasts of population persistence and range shifts. Rapid global change has turned the fundamental niche from a theoretical construct into a mission-critical objective for conservation science. Empirical tools exist to operationalize it. If we stop holding the fundamental niche to higher epistemic standards than the realized niche and treat survival and regeneration data from beyond the realized niche as genuine reflections of it, then we can advance this foundational yet surprisingly nascent research program.
