ECOLOGY

Date Posted: August 27, 2009
Region: British Columbia
Institution: University of British Columbia
Discipline: Ecology
Apply Until: October 31, 2009

The Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, invites applications for two tenure track positions in population, community or ecosystem ecology. For one of these appointments we prefer a population ecologist who combines quantitative (modeling or statistical) and field-based approaches. Applicants must have a PhD and will be expected to develop a strong externally-funded research program that complements our existing strengths in ecology. They will be expected to contribute to high quality undergraduate and graduate teaching in ecology and animal biology, and to effectively supervise graduate students. Successful applicants will become members of the new Biodiversity Research Center, a world-class group of scientists studying ecology, evolution and systematics, and will also actively interact with more broadly based members of the Zoology Department.

One appointment will be at the Assistant Professor level. The other appointment may be made at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor rank depending on the qualifications of the applicant. Both appointments are subject to final budgetary approval. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, summary or research interests and teaching philosophy, and reprints of four key publications. Evidence of teaching effectiveness would be an asset. Applicants should also send the names of three referees who can provide letters of support. Address all materials to: Dr. Bill Milsom, Head, Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Blvd., Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z4; (email: jobs@zoology.ubc.ca, Fax: 604-822-5780). We encourage electronic submissions of all application materials. Deadline for applications is October 31, 2009.

All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply and we strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups. The University of British Columbia hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity. We encourage all qualified persons to apply: however Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.
