Cooperative Extension in Invasive Weed and Restoration Ecology: The Department of Plant Sciences at the University of California, Davis seeks an Assistant Professor. Faculty in the Department are engaged in developing and disseminating comprehensive basic and applied knowledge regarding all aspects of plant sciences related to managed and natural ecosystems. This position fills a key gap in research and Extension leadership in weed management and ecological restoration in rangelands, wildlands, and natural areas. Rangelands, wildlands, and natural areas span ~75% of California’s land area and provide critical economic benefits and ecological services. The spread of weedy and invasive plants have altered these systems, impacting ecosystem health and agricultural productivity. In the US, the annual financial impact of invasive plants in rangelands alone has been estimated to be $2 billion. In recent years, funding for ecological restoration has steadily increased for natural and working landscapes; however, an incomplete understanding of the interactions among invasive plants, available restoration practices, and spatial and temporal environmental constraints that affect success/failure has been a fundamental challenge to restoring degraded and highly-invaded landscapes. - Conduct original, applied research at the intersection of restoration ecology and weed science on working and natural landscapes, ranging from managed to wildland ecosystems (e.g., rangelands, grasslands, woodlands, riparian areas). - Integrate and apply lessons learned from experimentation and innovation across scales to develop cost-effective restoration and land management practices. - Provide statewide and national Extension leadership and share novel, actionable research with land managers, policy makers, conservationists, and other key stakeholders via a strong Extension network. - Serve as a critical network link between Agricultural Experiment Station faculty and Cooperative Extension Advisors, as well as diverse stakeholders (federal and state agencies, regional land managers, non-governmental organizations) throughout California.

Wildlife Ecology/Disease and Human Health: We are re-advertising our faculty position within the Natural Sciences department at Peru State College (search failed last year). We are a small liberal arts school, and as such teaching is a significant portion of our assigned duties. However, as a new faculty member here, I have not found it prohibitive to continue to advance my research program in my second year. Therefore, I would encourage anyone to apply (including ABD PhD students) that enjoys teaching and working with undergraduate research students. We value individuals that are broadly trained and/or willing to teach a variety of classes, in part because there are only 4 faculty positions within biology, but we also modify our curricula to better reflect the strengths of our faculty. The new hire would almost certainly take over the ecology course, but assignments beyond that are pretty fluid and could include courses already on the books such as– conservation and management, limnology, mammalogy/ornithology, herps/fish, wildlife techniques, zoology, disease and epidemiology, anatomy, physiology, botany, experimental biology, or even a GIS course (some of which could be led or co-taught). Not to mention new courses that a faculty member might want to develop. I would be happy to discuss the position further with interested parties. Luke Klicka (lklicka@peru.edu).
