We are seeking outstanding candidates with a demonstrated track record of expertise, experience and knowledge in environmental chemistry, especially in an agricultural context. Exposure to agrochemicals including organic materials, fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and others greatly contribute to environmental pollution, land degradation and contamination of underground water resources to affect the environment, biodiversity, and ecosystems. Agricultural chemicals also lead to residual issues and raise food safety concerns. To develop sustainable agricultural systems, it is critical to generate new knowledge in agricultural residue chemistry and life-cycle analysis. This will enable the development of policies and regulations to mitigate the impact of land-based agriculture on our environment, land and landscapes and contribute to ecological services, food safety, food security and building sustainable communities.

The successful candidate will work closely with our faculty members in plant science, environmental sciences, soil science, cropping systems, food biosciences, animal and aquaculture production systems, engineering, and environmental health. As such, the successful candidate will be evaluated on their potential to become an international leader in the field of agricultural residue chemistry and their ability to provide potential sustainable solutions for environmental stewardship. The faculty expects the successful candidate to develop a strong externally funded, internationally recognized research program that includes the training of post-graduate, graduate, and undergraduate students. The successful candidate will be a multidisciplinary researcher who has demonstrated potential to collaborate with faculty members from across departments in the Faculty of Agriculture. We seek a team-player and team-builder who can forge synergies within and among academia, government research institutions, industry, and other stakeholders within and beyond the Atlantic region. We seek a clear and stimulating communicator who can inspire students, support faculty initiatives, serve on faculty committees, and participate in growing the positive reputation of the faculty and university.

The successful applicant must:

• hold a PhD in environmental chemistry or a closely related discipline such as agricultural chemistry, ecotoxicology or other closely related discipline with a demonstrated link between agriculture chemical residue and environmental health, ecological services and food safety;
• demonstrate the ability or potential to acquire research funding through grant-writing and to
• publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals;
• demonstrate experience in, or potential to, teach effectively at an undergraduate level, graduate, or post-graduate level; and
• demonstrate the potential to become an international leader in their field, and potential to developa strong externally funded program including Tri-council funding (https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/)

Desirable assets include demonstration of professional development related to teaching, and experience teaching international students.

A complete application package for this position should include:

• a cover letter summarizing qualifications and experience related to this position (2 pages maximum);

The preferred start date is 1 January 2022.

All candidates are encouraged to detail their experience in nuclear research, academia, and/or the nuclear industry in their cover letter and curriculum-vitae. Their commitment to research should be demonstrated by a record of strong peer-reviewed scientific contributions and the candidates are urged to include/submit examples of up to three refereed publications that are devoted to nuclear science, nuclear engineering, or a closely related field. Post-doctoral research experience or relevant industrial equivalent in nuclear science, nuclear engineering, and/or related field(s) would be an asset. A professional engineering license in Canada, or the eligibility to obtain a license, would be an asset.

The successful candidate is expected to show initiative and develop an independent research program that can capitalize on the resources of the CCE Department. Utilization of the SLOWPOKE-2 nuclear reactor and associated nuclear laboratory facilities would be an asset. As part of their research portfolio submission, candidates are encouraged to include a 5-to-10-year research program plan and an undergraduate/graduate student supervision plan. Additionally, a research program that includes collaboration with CCE Departmental Faculty, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), Department of National Defence (DND), industrial contacts, and/or other external contacts would be an asset.

An undergraduate degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a closely related discipline would be an asset. Recent teaching experience at the university-level would be an asset.

The successful candidate is required to make contributions through service to the CCE Department, the Faculty, the University, and the broader community. The ability to work collaboratively with colleagues in a university environment is essential. Conditions of employment will require the successful candidate to obtain a reliability security clearance status and become a licensed SLOWPOKE-2 reactor operator within three years.

The RMC is Canada’s largest federal university and is a bilingual teaching and research institution offering undergraduate and graduate programs in the social sciences and humanities, sciences, and engineering to members of the CAF and to civilians. As part of the DND, RMC’s primary mission is to prepare future leaders for the CAF. Whilst some Faculty are active CAF members in uniform, most Faculty members are civilians and have active research programs that are supported by the DND, industrial, and/or national research funding and have research groups with a mixture of civilian and CAF members. The RMC offers competitive salaries and benefits (including health insurance, dental insurance, parental leave, and an exceptional pension plan) with support to new hires with reallocation expenses and start-up funding.

The CCE Department is one of the largest at the RMC and offers a vibrant and cooperative teaching and research environment with both civilian and CAF Faculty. The CCE Department offers B.Sc., B.Eng. (accredited by the CEAB), M.Eng., M.A.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. Degrees. The CCE Department has an active research program with more than 60 researchers and over $6M from industrial, DND, and/or national funding sources. The CCE Department operates an extensive suite of analytical equipment and resources used for both undergraduate teaching and for Faculty research programs; chief amongst these is the SLOWPOKE-2 nuclear reactor with the associated nuclear laboratory facilities and radiation detection/measurement equipment. Further, the CCE Department has a knowledgeable and experienced technical staff that assist in the operation of the CCE Department, undergraduate laboratory activities, and Faculty research programs.
