Assistant Professor of Evolutionary Biology Full-time NEW
The Department of Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology (E3B) at Columbia University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level. Applicants can use any combination of field, experimental, computational, or theoretical approaches to study fundamental questions in evolutionary biology. The successful candidate is expected to establish a vigorous, externally funded research program that complements and augments existing strengths within E3B, and to participate in undergraduate and graduate teaching.
E3B is an intellectually diverse and stimulating department consisting of a vibrant and close-knit community. It has strong links to other departments and disciplines at the University, including evolutionary biologists working in other departments (evolutionatcolumbia.org), neuroscientists (Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute), earth and environmental scientists (Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, the Earth Institute, and other centers in the Climate School), and disease experts (Mailman School of Public Health). E3B also has close ties with New York partner institutions, including the New York Genome Center, the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Botanical Garden, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. These connections provide ample opportunities for interaction and collaboration.
Applications received by October 15, 2026 will receive full consideration. Please submit applications via Interfolio.
