The Division of Biology at Kansas State University invites applications for a tenure-track, nine-month position at the Assistant / Associate Professor level broadly focused on ecohydrology of grassland ecosystems. We seek an individual who has a commitment to work with a wide range of constituents on water issues important to the state of Kansas, and complementary to the research programs currently underway. We encourage applicants whose ecohydrological expertise will complement our current research strengths in linking aquatic and terrestrial natural ecosystems. Potential areas of expertise could include: riparian ecosystem function, linking groundwater to climate change mediated by biota, watershed ecosystems, or hydrology and biogeochemistry.
This position is one of several water-related thematic team hires that will join K-State. Each of these positions will hold a scholarly connection to the Kansas Water Institute and will join an interdisciplinary cohort of water-related faculty with the opportunity to collaborate on research, teaching, and engagement. The Kansas Water Institute develops and supports interdisciplinary research, teaching, and engagement on high-priority water resource problems and objectives identified through the state water plan. The Institute also facilitates effective communication between water resource professionals and helps share and apply research results.
The appointee will be expected to establish an extramurally funded research program, deliver high-quality undergraduate and graduate teaching and mentoring. Courses taught might include ecohydrology, ecosystem responses to climate change, riparian ecology, macrosystems ecology, watershed modeling and/or experiments, or methods-based classes. The position includes a competitive salary and start-up package with an anticipated start date corresponding with the 2025/2026 academic year.
