behavior in animals using any combination of classical and/or modern
networking, neural, molecular, and/or genomic techniques. Preference will
be given to candidates taking comparative and/or evolutionary approaches.



*Job Description:*

Recruited faculty will join a collaborative community of teacher-scholars.

developing externally funded research programs and to engaging students in
the classroom and through research mentorship at the undergraduate, M.S.,

Wake Forest Biology is a welcoming community committed to fostering
diversity and achieving inclusive excellence in teaching and research. We
seek colleagues who will share in our commitment. In pursuit of this, we
strongly encourage applications from individuals from traditionally
