Dear Entomology Chairs--

The University of Colorado Museum of Natural History is conducting a search
for the Curator of Entomology.
Would you be willing to distribute this ad (below) to your departmental
lists, so we might reach as many potential applicants as possible as well
as folks who might know interested individuals?

Curator of Entomology and Assistant Professor in Ecology & Evolutionary
Biology or another appropriate department

The University of Colorado Museum of Natural History seeks applications for
a dynamic Curator of Entomology with an outstanding track record of
specimen-based and interdisciplinary research for a joint, tenure-track
appointment as Curator of Entomology and Assistant Professor. Although
Assistant Professor is the anticipated hiring rank, the Associate Professor
rank may be considered based on experience and qualifications. The position
is rostered in the Museum, with tenure home in the Department of Ecology
and Evolutionary Biology or another academic department at CU relevant to
the ecology and evolution of insects. Teaching responsibilities will be
split between the tenure home department and the Museum & Field Studies
Graduate Program in the Museum. It is anticipated that the successful
candidate will have research expertise in one or more areas including (but
not limited to) insect comparative genomics, cutting-edge systematics,
macroevolution, responses to environmental change, and/or ecophysiology.
Strong preference will be given to candidates that demonstrate effective,
large team cross-disciplinary projects, as evidenced by publications,
grants and productive collaborations/partnerships. This research program
will build on the Museum’s collections and unique strengths in the study of
organismal responses to environmental change through time. The successful
candidate will take a leadership role in advancing the Museum’s entomology
collection, will engage with undergraduate and graduate students, and will
demonstrate genuine interest in contributing to the Museum & Field Studies
Masters and Professional Certificate Program. The Entomology Section houses
over 1.4 million specimens, with strengths in Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera,
Orthoptera, Hemiptera, and Coleoptera. More information about the Museum
and the Entomology Section can be found at: https://colorado.edu/cumuseum.
Applicants must have a doctoral degree and strong research, curatorial,
teaching and mentoring credentials as well as a thoughtful approach to DEI
goals. For more details see the full job ad and application portal:
https://jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail/?jobId=53360. Application
materials must be submitted electronically, beginning Dec. 5, 2023. The
application package should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae,
representative publications, statements of research, teaching, curatorial
experience and vision, and diversity and inclusion goals along with names
and contact information for three references. Review of applications begins
Jan. 8, 2024. Contact: christy.mccain at colorado.edu. The University of
Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of
faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive
campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including
veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Thank you so much for your help!

Sincerely, Search Committee (Christy McCain, Julian Resasco, Karen Chin,
