The Department of Biology and Marine Biology at The University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) invites applications for a 9-month tenure track Assistant Professor position in Marine Biology starting August 2025. We seek applicants able to complement existing disciplinary strengths, develop regional research, and leverage existing UNCW facilities. The successful applicant will be expected to develop and maintain a rigorous, extramurally funded research program that provides opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, and other research team positions (such as post-doctoral researchers) as appropriate.

Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to marine botany, phycology, mycology, and research programs that integrate marine genomics and quantitative approaches.

The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to the Department’s teaching mission at both the graduate and undergraduate level in core areas of our marine biology curriculum and other courses as determined by candidate interests and departmental needs. We value candidates that are able to foster a welcoming environment for students, staff, faculty, and community members.
