Virginia Tech is seeking applicants for seven tenure track positions associated with the Invasive Species Collaborative (ISC). These new faculty positions will be housed within several colleges and academic units across campus as part of a large university-wide interdisciplinary investment (Destination Area Phase 2) to make Virginia Tech a center of excellence in the science, policy, and management of invasive species at state, national, and international levels. 

Successful candidates are expected to have a significant portion of their research programs focused on invasive species. We are seeking individuals with a strong orientation towards team science, characterized by their ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams. Candidates who possess the skills to bridge disciplinary divides and drive innovative solutions are strongly encouraged to apply.

The ISC is an enthusiastic group of faculty, staff, and students seeking creative solutions to the grand challenge of invasive species. New hires will be key members of future campus-wide efforts to secure individual, team, and larger assets on invasive species issues, develop innovative curricula, and enhance interactions at the science-policy interface.

Please note that positions will be announced throughout the 2024-2025 calendar year.
