The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (SAFS) at the University of Washington-Seattle seeks to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level with specialization in sustainable aquaculture. We aim to hire a faculty member whose empirical research studies aquaculture through a lens of food security, social or livelihood effects, environmental impacts, or climate change. Research can focus on the level of organism, species, production system, or ecosystem. As part of the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, the successful applicant is expected to establish a collaborative, externally funded and nationally recognized research program. In addition, the successful applicant will contribute to the teaching mission of the school through innovative classroom teaching and effective mentorship of undergraduate/graduate students and postdocs. This is a full-time (100% FTE), 9-month position. This position requires a Ph.D. or foreign equivalent, with post-doctoral experience strongly desired. The anticipated start date for the position is September 16, 2023.
