Position at: New College of Florida

We invite applications for an open-rank, tenure-track position in Marine Mammal Science beginning in August 2026. We seek a collaborative colleague whose expertise falls in one of two areas: Research methods, data science, or statistics; and/or Marine mammal science, broadly defined. The successful candidate will play a central role in supporting and expanding our interdisciplinary, research-intensive two-year Master’s program. Our current faculty are leaders in dolphin cognition and echolocation, manatee acoustics and conservation, and pinniped cognition and marine mammal neurobiology. We are seeking a fourth faculty member whose expertise complements and broadens these strengths, particularly in spatial ecology, GIS, genetics, or other areas that expand our research portfolio. Experience or strong interest in cross-disciplinary data analysis or advanced quantitative methods is especially welcome, though not required. The new faculty member will mentor 4–6 graduate students annually, teach core courses and electives aligned with their expertise, and contribute to our strong culture of individualized mentorship and hands-on research training. There are no undergraduate teaching requirements; however, faculty may engage with undergraduates through collaborative research and occasional cross-listed courses. Research productivity is central to this position. We welcome applicants at any career stage who bring either an emerging or well-established research agenda that complements or enhances our existing strengths. The Marine Mammal Science program is housed in a restored historic mansion estate on Sarasota Bay, separate from the main campus, with two dedicated buildings and direct dock access. These facilities foster focused scholarship and close faculty-student collaboration. Florida offers exceptional opportunities for marine mammal research across springs, estuaries, and Gulf ecosystems, with access to diverse species including manatees (in both wild and rehabilitation contexts), the long-studied Sarasota Bay bottlenose dolphin community, Gulf cetaceans, and pinnipeds through regional partnerships. The program maintains strong regional collaborations and long-term data resources, including the Sarasota Bay Listening Network, creating rich opportunities for integrative and applied research. We welcome applicants who are excited to help build and shape a dynamic graduate program within a collegial, energetic academic community committed to scientific excellence and student success. Application review begins March 31, 2026, and will continue on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
