The University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is hiring two tenure-track ecologists. One is for an ecologist at the Assistant/Associate level, linked to a Tier II CRC Research Chair. The second is for an Assistant professor in plant chemical ecology.
---- Tier II Canada Research Chair in Ecology (Assistant/Associate Professor) UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA, DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES We invite applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in ecology. We are interested in applications from excellent candidates who study any aspect of ecology, using any taxonomic group(s), at any level(s) of organization. Use of empirical and/or theoretical approaches in the field or the lab are all welcomed. The successful candidate must have a PhD and a proven record of leading-edge ecological research, as well as demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching. The Department of Biological Sciences (www.biology.ualberta.ca) is one of the largest in North America, with 70 faculty members (30 ecology) and 280 graduate students (100 ecology). This concentration of biologists offers a collegial environment for collaboration among ecologists, mathematical biologists, organismal biologists, molecular biologists, physiologists, and evolutionary biologists. Exceptional infrastructure includes field stations in Alberta and the Pacific Coast, plant growth facilities, museums, and access to service units in chemical instrumentation, molecular biology, plant/soil analysis, and microscopy. Members of Biological Sciences benefit from interdisciplinary connections with members of many other departments in the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Life, and Environmental Sciences, and the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta. The successful candidate will be nominated as a Canada Research Chair at the Tier II level. (www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca).
