Canada Research Chair Faculty Position in
Quantitative Fisheries Science and Management
The School of Resource and Environmental Management at Simon Fraser
University (Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada) is a dynamic graduate
school in which both social and natural scientists apply
multi-disciplinary approaches to research in resource and
environmental management. The School has a substantial research and
teaching program in Fisheries Science and Management
(www.rem.sfu.ca/fishgrp/index.html). The School seeks to fill a
tenure-track faculty position in Fisheries Science and Management,
with a leading-edge senior candidate who will meet the criteria and
qualify for a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/).
We invite applications from Ph.D. scientists who have a strong
quantitative background in fisheries science and management,
simulation modeling, and statistics. A research emphasis on wild
Pacific salmon is desirable, but other research foci will also be
considered. The successful candidate will have experience and
demonstrated applied accomplishments in fisheries science and
management, for example in:
(1) Applied fish ecology, conservation, population dynamics,
fisheries oceanography, sampling design, effects of habitat change
and management, or multispecies interactions; and/or
(2) Stock assessment, risk assessment and management, evaluation of
management strategies or policies, ecosystem-based reference points
and metrics, species at risk, or invasive species.
Collaborative experience with one or more of government, industry, or
non-government organizations will be an advantage.
The successful candidate will teach graduate and undergraduate
courses, supervise graduate students, and conduct research using
multi-disciplinary approaches to fisheries science and management.
Relevant teaching experience is desirable.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. However, Canadians
and permanent residents will be given priority. Simon Fraser
University is committed to employment equity and encourages
applications from all qualified women and men, including visible
minorities, aboriginal people, and persons with disabilities. Please
note that this position is contingent upon available funding and is
subject to final approval by the Board of Governors.
Applicants should send a Curriculum Vitae, samples of relevant
reprints, a brief (2-4 page) statement of your research vision and
