   Assistant Professor (Tenure- Track) in Freshwater Ecological Sciences
 </div>
 <div>
   Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver.
 </div>
 <div>
  <br> Position Description
 </div>
 <div>
   The Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences (Faculty of Forestry, Vancouver Campus, The University of British Columbia - UBC) invites applications for a tenure-track position in Freshwater Ecological Sciences at the Assistant Professor level, to commence on July 1, 2025 or when a suitable candidate is found. The Vancouver Campus of UBC is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam).
 </div>
 <div></div>
 <div>
   Freshwater ecosystems are under considerable threat and impact by humans as a result of climate change, pollution, habitat fragmentation, resource extraction, and land-use practices. We are seeking an outstanding emerging scholar to lead world-class research in Freshwater Ecological Sciences (streams, wetlands and/or lakes) with a focus on some of the following study areas: links between aquatic ecosystem function and surrounding land-use (e.g., forestry, agriculture, urbanization), cumulative effects, biodiversity, connectivity among systems including terrestrial ones, and pollution/contaminants. We have a preference for someone who studies animals as focal organisms or systems (e.g., aquatic invertebrates and/or vertebrates). Successful management and policy require science-based information on aquatic organisms and systems so the successful candidate should have experience in conducting applied research and using results to inform management or policy decisions.
 </div>
 <div></div>
 <div>
   The Faculty of Forestry (
  <div>
   https://forestry.ubc.ca/
  </div>) at the UBC is one of the largest of its kind globally. Its award-winning, multidisciplinary researchers explore social-ecological systems from many perspectives, including ecosystem functioning, applied resource management, conservation decision-making and policy, Indigenous knowledge, and values that human societies derive from nature.
 </div>
 <div></div>
 <div>
   Our research continually strives to redefine and broaden our conception of forestry by addressing a wide variety of issues including biodiversity conservation, environmental justice, climate change mitigation, sustainable forest management and bioproducts development, to name a few.
 </div>
 <div></div>
 <div>
   The Faculty of Forestry operates two Research Forests (
  <div>
   https://forestry.ubc.ca/research/research-forests/
  </div>) where scientists can establish projects requiring forested environments. These are working forests, where students and faculty from UBC and beyond study in an outdoor setting. Numerous freshwater ecological and conservation studies have occurred at these facilities.
 </div>
 <div></div>
 <div>
   The successful applicant will establish their laboratory in the Forest Sciences Centre (
  <div>
   https://forestry.ubc.ca/about/deans-message/forest-sciences-centre/
  </div>) which houses three departments and provides access to outstanding resources and collaborators. This position complements existing strengths in our faculty in fish ecology, conservation decision-making and planning, wildlife ecology, Indigenous food systems, landscape and ecosystem ecology, and more broadly at UBC in fisheries, marine systems, and biodiversity science. Researchers in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences (
  <div>
   https://fcs.forestry.ubc.ca/
  </div>) often collaborate with federal and provincial agency personnel who have local laboratories and facilities, with ENGOs and not-for-profit organizations, and with numerous First Nation groups.
 </div>
 <div></div>
 <div>
   Our award-winning academic programs are interdisciplinary, integrating natural and social sciences, with courses taught by leading scientists and instructors who utilize cutting-edge technologies and provide hands-on training in the class, lab and field (
  <div>
   https://forestry.ubc.ca/future-students/
  </div>). The successful applicant will ultimately be teaching two undergraduate courses and one graduate course, with a ‘gradual-entry’ approach adopted with reduced teaching loads early in the position. Teaching will include co-instructing a 3rd year course focusing on freshwater ecosystems, and contributing to one or more field schools.
 </div>
 <div></div>
 <div>
   The position requires a PhD, postdoctoral experience, and a strong record of research achievements in the field. The successful applicant will be expected to develop an innovative, externally-funded and internationally-competitive research program, supervise graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, collaborate with faculty members, teach undergraduate and graduate courses in aquatic sciences, and participate in service to the department, university, and academic/scientific community. Candidates will have a strong commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion to create a welcoming community for all, particularly those who are historically, persistently, or systemically marginalized.
