"Associate Director and Professor"

Stony Brook University seeks an Associate Director for the Institute for Conservation of Tropical Environments (ICTE)/Centre ValBio (CVB) to provide leadership and promote a productive environment that fosters innovation and excellence in CVB’s research, education, and outreach programs. The Associate Director should have academic expertise in one or more core areas covered by CVB, which covers the natural sciences (e.g., ecology, evolutionary biology, zoology, botany, organismal biology [e.g., entomology, herpetology, etc.], natural history, paleontology, primatology, ecology and evolution of infectious disease, ecology and evolution of behavior, tropical ecology and evolution), applied natural sciences (e.g., conservation biology, tropical forestry), or at the interface between science and society (e.g., anthropology, one health, biodiversity management). While holding a tenure home in an allied department at the main SBU campus on Long Island, the Associate Director is expected to reside at CVB in Madagascar for a great proportion of the first two-to-three years of their appointment, and at least one academic term each year thereafter.
