Salary will be commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the candidate. IRES has enjoyed over three decades of leading edge interdisciplinary research on the environment and sustainability. It serves as a crucible for new research partnerships from across the University and beyond, and supports a graduate program of over 80 PhD and 40 master's students. Additional information about the research and teaching programs, as well as our state-of-the-art research facilities, can be found at www.ires.ubc.ca. We seek an outstanding interdisciplinary scholar with a strong grounding in the social sciences, behavioural sciences or humanities who aspires to develop an internationally recognized research program in an area related to fields such as the built environment, water, energy and/or natural resources.

The ideal candidate will also have demonstrated engagement with a broad spectrum of society outside of academia. An orientation toward integrative interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate linkages across the human and natural worlds is required. The successful candidate will be joining a strong and cohesive unit, with a wide range of skills and interests, which has succeeded in recruiting and training the very best students. The successful candidate must have a completed PhD and have demonstrated potential in research and in teaching at graduate and undergraduate levels. The successful candidate will be expected to teach graduate courses in his/her area of specialization; teaching in collaboration with other units across the UBC campus, especially at the undergraduate level, is an encouraged option.
