The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences in the Faculty of Science at Dalhousie University invites applications for a tenure-track position in Environmental Geoscience at the Assistant Professor level. The applicant must demonstrate a record of outstanding research in fields bridging Earth surface processes, human activities, and the Environment. Examples include, but are not limited to, water resources, soil and surface processes, low temperature geochemistry, and biogeochemistry. Candidates are especially welcome who investigate terrestrial and freshwater environmental change related to anthropogenic drivers, including climate change. We encourage candidates whose research integrates field-based surveys and application of numerical modelling of earth system processes. Expertise in geospatial modelling is a benefit.<br />
<br />
The successful candidate will contribute to an innovative, interdisciplinary environment and will be expected to cooperate and work with other researchers, drawing on and building research strengths and capacity, ideally in alignment with Dalhousie’s Research and Innovation Strategic Direction, and the Strategic Plan for the Faculty of Science.<br />

Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in the field closely related to Environmental Geoscience. Eligible applicants must demonstrate exceptional research excellence and productivity, the ability to attain external grant funding for their research program and have a strong interest and aptitude for the teaching and mentoring of students. The successful candidate will be a successful early career scientist in Environmental Geosciences and will have demonstrated ability or potential to lead multidisciplinary research teams and establish world-class graduate programme.<br />
<br />
Additional Qualifications Desired: Post-doctoral experience, a strong track record of scholarly publications in highly regarded peer-reviewed journals, a history of securing funding to conduct research, employment of cutting-edge field and data analytical methods, and ability to provide quality mentoring and teaching to undergraduate and graduate students.<br />
<br />
Responsibilities: The successful applicant will: develop and maintain a rigorous, externally funded research program in science research and mentor graduate students; teach introductory and higher-level courses in areas that bridge core Environmental Science with Environmental Geoscience; ability to teach geospatial modelling is a benefit; and provide inter?mural and extra-mural service to the University.<br />
