You’ve read through and internalized all of the advice in the Lab Manifesto. Now what?

Fear not, there are many more amazing career-development resources by some outstanding researchers, covering a wide range of important topics for all stages of your academic career.

EcoEvoJobs.net

Here is list of available faculty positions in ecology and evolution. It is a good idea to look through these even before you are ready to start applying, to get a sense of what kinds of skills, expertise, and experience is required.
