Forest Health: The Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor nine-month faculty position in the area of Forest Health. Globally, forests deliver essential services to ecosystems and societies. They drive the cycling of water and carbon, provide essential habitat for a wealth of species, and support both the material and cultural prosperity of human communities. However, the world’s forests are at an ecological tipping point. A suite of novel stressors from a warming climate to the widespread introduction of invasive species poses direct and indirect threats to the health of trees and the function of forests. Understanding how trees respond to these interacting stressors is fundamental to the well-being of forests and the people that depend on them. California is no exception. Tens of millions of acres of California’s forests are in poor health and vulnerable to catastrophic losses from insects and pathogens, especially during periods of climatic extremes. Improving our knowledge of these threats and informing ways to mitigate them is a priority for California and the world. See https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05082 for details and to apply.

Limnology/Ecosystem Modelling: Assistant Professor in Limnology with specialization in Ecosystem modelling, Uppsala University, Sweden. Forecasting how ecosystems will continue to change as Earth progresses further into the Anthropocene is challenging but essential to our ability to mitigate detrimental effects on nature and humanity. Process-based models can simulate the future of inland water ecosystems and the services they provide but require further development to increase the reliability of forecasts. This position aims to strengthen the department's profile related to process-based modelling of inland water ecosystems. Since current models of inland water ecosystems, e.g., lakes, are highly simplified concerning biological and ecological aspects, research that improves the representation of biological and ecological processes is particularly relevant. Developing models that integrate interactions between ecological, physical and biogeochemical processes can enhance the reliability of forecasts of detrimental anthropogenic effects on inland water ecosystems, and their services. Reliable forecasts are essential to guide management and mitigation measures to safeguard inland water ecosystem services in the Anthropocene. Details and application: Deadline: November 24 2025.

Endowed Chair of Plant Science and Food Security: University of Dayton This inaugural endowed chair is a tenured position at the Associate Professor or Professor rank within a Department in the College of Arts and Sciences beginning August 16, 2026. The fundamental goal of the DiNovo-Deak Endowed Chair of Plant Science and Food Security is to increase food security in regions of the world with the greatest need through the application of plant or crop science. The inaugural holder of the chair will make advancements in the area of applied plant science that can increase global food security by improving the resilience or yield of crops utilized in at-risk regions of the world. Global population growth and climate change expose hundreds of millions of people to hunger and food insecurity, particularly in developing countries. Plant science, specifically crop science, plays a critical role in addressing a wide range of related challenges associated with this complex issue, including crop resilience and yield, crop diversification, and drought and salinity tolerance. Through teaching, applied research, and practical implementation, this endowed chair will focus on improving food security for the world’s most vulnerable populations through plant or crop science and other fields as needed to improve the likelihood of success. The Dinovo-Deak Chair of Plant Science and Food Security will test and implement their research by working directly with subsistence farmers in an impoverished region of the world, with the specific goal of improving crop yield and quality in real-world applications. This chair will have a research agenda embedded in the community they serve to build trust, collaboration, and amplify their impact. See the full job ad for details and to apply.
