Job Description

Assistant Professor - Climate Driven Disease Ecology, Ecology & Evolution Location: Stony Brook, NY Open Date: Aug 15, 2025 Deadline: Oct 01, 2025 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time Description The Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University invites applications for a tenure-track position in Global Change and Disease Ecology. This position is designed to address the critical intersection of global change, infectious disease dynamics, and public health-an area of increasing importance in addressing global challenges. The focus of this position is to advance understanding of how global change, including changes in climate, land use, biodiversity loss and homogenization, urbanization, and global trade, influence host-pathogen dynamics, vector ecology, and zoonotic spillovers. The faculty member hired for this position will bring expertise in advanced quantitative approaches, including ecological or evolutionary modeling, genomics, or advanced computation (e.g., machine learning, deep learning, neural networks), to develop predictive frameworks for understanding and mitigating the effects of global change on disease ecology. We seek a candidate who will be an effective teacher in undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of ecology and evolutionary biology, and who will develop a robust, externally funded, and internationally recognized research program that produces high-impact studies and fosters interdisciplinary collaborations with researchers in public health and medicine. Such a research program is expected to enhance and complement the work of our current faculty. Details of the department's areas of research emphasis and current facilities may be found at Besides potential collaborations with faculty within the department, applicants would have the opportunity to leverage several external links in their research and teaching, including but not limited to opportunities associated with the New York Climate Exchange. This position is also expected to foster connections with relevant departments in the Health Sciences. The department interacts closely with the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, the Department of Anthropology, and the Institute for Advanced Computational Science, and has strong links with the Turkana Basin Institute in Kenya and Centre ValBio in Madagascar. In addition, Stony Brook has long-standing connections with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the New York Genome Center. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in ecology, evolutionary biology, or a closely related field at the time of appointment; preference will be given to those with related post-doctoral experience. Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate and graduate courses in ecology and evolutionary biology, with opportunities to develop specialized courses in infectious disease ecology and quantitative methods. They will teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels, generate external funding to support their research, perform research, mentor undergraduate and graduate students, participate in departmental and university committees, and perform service to support the Department of Ecology and Evolution.
