I am delighted to announce that the Department of Biology at the University of Washington is advertising for a tenure-track assistant professor position on the quantitative understanding of collective behavior. I will be chairing the search; details are here: apply.interfolio.com/130336

Is it okay that I’m still several years away from earning my PhD? Because this sounds pretty cool.

I can't believe "from bacteria to buffalo or beyond" made it through the approval process. Awesome.

That sounds AWESOME

Collective behavior, like people in cults?

Great to see that you are only requesting contact information for letter writers. It might be more work for the search committee to track down errant letters, but this is a net good for the field with letter writers not needing to reformat or upload letters for someone poorly matched to the search.

Oooooo what a cool field.

Hari Seldon is available.

Damnit, where was that position 11 years ago? ;-)

That's an amazing picture. I know that flock well, always wonderful to see on the ground or in the air.
