The Department of Anatomical Sciences at Stony Brook University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in the area of mammalian evolutionary morphology. We seek a research-active candidate who demonstrates clear potential to establish or maintain an internationally recognized and externally funded research and fieldwork program. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, phylogenetics, comparative vertebrate morphology, vertebrate paleontology, and quantitative evolutionary morphology.

The ideal candidate would have a research program centered on specimen-based mammalian vertebrate paleontology. The candidate's expertise should complement departmental strengths in advanced imaging, comparative vertebrate morphology, and exploring the processes that shape organismal phenotypic evolution. We are particularly interested in candidates with field programs centered on mammalian phenotypic evolution with paleontology fieldwork taking place in North America and/or internationally.
