Position Title / Rank: Tenured Professor of Biodiversity Genomics
College: College of Biological Science
Department/School: Integrative Biology
Deadline: September 5, 2016 and continue until the position is filled
Position Description: The Department of Integrative Biology
(http://www.uoguelph.ca/ib/) seeks to
appoint a faculty member with research interests in the application of genomic
tools to answer
questions about biological diversity at multiple levels of organization and the
processes that maintain or
influence patterns of biological diversity in rapidly changing environments.
This strategic choice is
intended to position the university to continue to be a world leader in genomic
application for decades
to come. Potential areas of research interest include (but are not restricted
to) ecological genomics and
evolutionary genomics. Candidates must have, commensurate with the rank of
Professor, a strong
record of published contributions in leading journals, a well-established
international reputation, as well
as a strong track record in teaching. The individual recruited will exploit
leading edge approaches to
genomics tools and methodologies, but with a demonstrated capacity to apply
these tools to general
conceptual problems. Of equal importance will be the demonstrated capacity to
provide mentorship to
other faculty members, graduate students and staff as well as providing
effective leadership and strong
participation in collaborative research across the university, including the
Biodiversity Institute of
Ontario. The successful applicant will have demonstrated skills and commitment
to participating in the
undergraduate and graduate teaching programs of the University. A Ph.D. is
required. Salary is
negotiable and commensurate with qualifications. Candidates should submit a
curriculum vitae,
statements of teaching and research interests plus the names of three referees
electronically (merged
into a single PDF) to the following address:
John Fryxell

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian and
