TWO FACULTY POSITIONS IN ECOLOGY
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 [email protected], 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.
