Application Deadline: 15 March 2014



The Marine Affairs Program (MAP) in the Faculty of Science at Dalhousie
University invites applications for a Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council (SSHRC) Canada Research Chair Tier 2 position in Integrated
Coastal and Ocean Management. It is anticipated that the appointment will be
tenure-stream at the Assistant/Associate Professor level.

of Canada to enable Canadian universities to enhance their role as
world-class centres of research excellence. More information about the
Canada Research Chairs Program is available at

note that the CRC nominations are subject to review and final approval by
the CRC Secretariat.



The SSHRC CRC Tier 2 position in Integrated Coastal and Ocean Management in
Marine Affairs is consistent with Dalhousie University’s strategic focus in
ocean-related interdisciplinary research. It will further enhance
Dalhousie’s position as Canada’s most comprehensive Oceans University. The
successful candidate will have the opportunity to advance knowledge in this
field and to collaborate with recognized coastal and marine scholars from
some six Faculties within the university, as well as with businesses,
government and civil society partners involved in coastal and ocean
management.



Eligibility

Candidates for the CRC Tier 2 position must be excellent emerging
researchers who have demonstrated: creativity in interdisciplinary research
with a focus on marine and coastal issues; achieved a level of success which
suggests the potential to achieve international recognition in their
particular field of research over the next five to ten years; and, have the
potential to attract excellent trainees, students and future researchers.
Eligible disciplinary expertise of the candidate may include law or legal
studies, geography, political science, ecological economics or any other
discipline relevant to the Social Sciences and Humanities. Candidates must
have received their doctorate within the 10 years of their application
submission, have an excellent publication record and possess the necessary
qualifications to be appointed at the Assistant/Associate Professor level.
Although this is primarily a research appointment, the appointee will be
expected to teach at the graduate level. The successful candidate will be
expected to build and sustain a strong research program and in so doing,
actively contribute to intra- and interfaculty collaborations in this area
of emphasis.
