        McGill University
        Department of Geography
        Tenure-track Associate Professor in Terrestrial Global Hydrology & Climatology

        Applications are invited for a tenure-track position at the Associate Professor level in the Department of Geography beginning July 1, 2013.

        The appointee’s teaching and research will focus on modelling large basin, continental or global-scale stores and movement of freshwater. We are particularly interested in someone whose research couples large scale hydrology with changes in climate, land cover/use, and/or the human appropriation of water, and their effect on the freshwater hydrological cycle. Research should emphasize geophysical controls, biogeochemical transfers, links with climate, and/or integration across scales in hydrological systems. Resolving the global water cycle and determining how human activity is altering this cycle is recognized as a “grand challenge” in the undergraduate Earth System Science program at McGill University. Expertise in global terrestrial hydrology will be an obvious asset in McGill’s FQRNT-funded Global Environmental and Climate Change Centre, and complement existing expertise in land use/land cover change, biogeochemistry, landscape ecology, and fluvial and periglacial geomorphology in the Department of Geography.

        Such a position would be consistent with the inter-disciplinary Environment theme elaborated in the McGill ‘White Paper’: http://www.mcgill.ca/files/provost/Strengths_and_Aspirations_June_2006.pdf.

        It is also consistent with the greater attention to ‘sustainability’ that has been adopted by McGill.

        Applicants must possess a PhD and have demonstrated excellence in research, teaching and communication. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

        McGill University is committed to equity in employment and diversity. It welcomes applications from indigenous peoples, visible minorities, ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, women, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities and others who may contribute to further diversification. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, priority will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada.

        Candidates should ensure that their curriculum vitae, statements of teaching specializations and research interests, up to three reprints, and letters from three referees are sent to the following address. The review of applications will begin March 19, 2013 and applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

        University of British Columbia
        Department of Geography
        Full-time Tenure-track Instructor I in Human Geography

        The University of British Columbia, Vancouver invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Instructor I position in the Department of Geography (http://www.geog.ubc.ca/).

        The incumbent’s academic appointment will be in the Department of Geography, but s/he is expected to dedicate about 2/3 of workload towards the University’s new International Program to be launched in 2014. The program’s mandate is to offer a first-year curriculum to international students from domestic schools in emerging countries in preparation for entry to the second year of degree programs in Arts or Sciences. The mandate of the program includes the development and implementation of innovative teaching practices. The initial cohort of Arts students (with a target enrolment of 150) will arrive in the fall of 2014 and the program will deliver sections of Geography 121 and Geography 122, amongst other courses. In the academic year 2013/4 the Instructor in Geography will join with instructors in Psychology and Political Science as well as English language instructors to develop the pedagogy and curriculum for the program. In addition the appointee will teach undergraduate classes in the Department of Geography.

        The ideal candidate would be a broadly trained human geographer capable of presenting both a historical and contemporary thematic approach to world geography. The minimum qualification is a doctoral degree in a field directly relevant to geography education. As this is a tenure-track position, an Instructor I who in later years is reviewed for tenure and promotion to Senior Instructor will be required to show evidence of excellence in teaching, demonstrated educational leadership, distinction in the field of teaching and learning, sustained and innovative contributions to curriculum development, course design and other initiatives that advance the University’s ability to excel in its teaching and learning mandate. Experience in teaching international students, professional associations supporting geography education, research in pedagogy, arts curriculum development, and the integration of innovative teaching practices and technologies into the curriculum is highly desirable. It is expected that Senior Instructors will keep abreast of current developments in their respective disciplines and in the field of teaching and learning. A Senior Instructor may be reviewed for promotion to the rank of Professor of Teaching in the fifth and subsequent years in that rank.

        Applicants should submit the following: a curriculum vita; a statement of teaching philosophy and interests; evidence of content area expertise, teaching effectiveness (such as student evaluations), and experience with emerging technologies in teaching and learning; and names and contact information for three referees. Applications should be addressed to:

        University of British Columbia

        Application materials should be submitted electronically, preferably as PDFs with relevant file names (for example, "last name CV") to recruit@geog.ubc.ca. Review of applications will begin March 29, 2013 and continue until the position is filled.

        The University of British Columbia hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity and diversity within its community.
