Wilfrid Laurier University: Jarislowsky Chair in Sustainable Water Futures
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Wilfrid Laurier University invites applications for a tenured faculty position at the Associate Professor or Full Professor level for the Jarislowsky Chair in Sustainable Water Futures (subject to budgetary approval). Commencement of the initial five-year appointment is negotiable, but the expected start date of the appointment is July 1, 2020.
The Jarislowsky Chair, created as a result of a gift from the Jarislowsky Foundation and housed in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, will support the sustainability of Canada’s water and other natural resources. A joint appointment in the Balsillie School of International Affairs will provide unique opportunities for the Jarislowsky Chair to shape policy developments that offer innovative solutions for critical sustainability challenges. These challenges include industrial pollution, energy development, global water use, food security and climate change management and adaptation. The Chair holder will direct an innovative research program in the detection, analysis, remediation, and/or toxicology of contaminants. This research program is expected to address gaps in scientific knowledge that will lead to policy developments related to Canada’s water and other natural resources.
The endowment funds will be available to the Jarislowsky Chair to support:
(i) Students and other personnel;
(ii) Research; and
(iii) Seed funding that will help to leverage additional research support.
The Chair holder will seek further funding from external sources to support their research activities. The five-year term of the Chair holder is renewable upon successful review. This position is open for applicants with established programs of research aligned with the objectives of the Jarislowsky Chair.
The Jarislowsky Chair will also join the Centre for Cold Regions and Water Science (CCRWS). Opened in 2013, the CCRWS is a collaborative research facility that, in partnership with the Government of the Northwest Territories, houses four research centres/groups, including the Laurier Institute for Water Science (https://researchcentres.wlu.ca/laurier-institute-for-water-science/index.html).
This multidisciplinary Institute promotes collaboration amongst researchers in the Faculty of Arts, the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics, and the Faculty of Science. The focus of this research institute is on three interconnected water-related disciplines:
• Hydrological Sciences: This includes physical, chemical, biogeochemical aspects of hydrology, climatology and hydrogeology
• Ecology and Biogeochemical Sciences: This includes toxicology, geochemistry, terrestrial and aquatic ecology
• Public Policy and Management: Issues related to this discipline include policy, economic, governance and legal aspects of water across
Canada and internationally.
CCRWS also houses researchers of the collaborative groups: Canadian Aquatic Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Boreal Ecosystem Research (CALIBER), and the Ontario Water Consortium (OWC). CALIBER researchers apply a holistic, interdisciplinary, and ecosystem approach based on watersheds, responding to urgent and serious concerns about flows and storage processes and the effects of nutrients and contaminants on boreal freshwater. The OWC is a platform for research, development and demonstration of water technologies in the context of an urbanizing watershed. Their collective facilities in the CCRWS building include labs for hydrology, hydrometerology calibration, aquatic culture and testing, biogeochemistry characterization, molecular biochemistry and imaging, and predictive modelling. The successful candidate will benefit from laboratory and student office spaces reserved for this research chair within the CCRWS building.
The Jarislowsky Chair will be also closely aligned with Global Water Futures, a $78M multi-institutional research program awarded to Laurier and its university partners across Canada by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. Global Water Futures is the largest university-led water research program ever funded worldwide and it will deliver solutions to manage water futures in Canada and other regions where climate is changing landscapes, ecosystems and aquatic environments.
Qualification for the position includes a PhD in Chemistry or Biochemistry, or a cognate discipline.
The application package should include:
(i) A cover letter,
(ii) A detailed curriculum vitae with names of three references,
(iii) A 5-page research proposal,

About Montreal
Montréal, our home, is exceptional. It is a truly unique city — safe and clean, vibrant and diverse, with new things to discover around every corner.
Another reason people flock to Montreal is because it's an affordable city. With a diverse population of 1.7 million, it is home to four major universities and several clinical research centres, and has been named the best student city in the world.
The city is home to over 170,000 university students, a thriving multicultural scene and the most affordable tuition in Canada.
Bilingualism is a part of Montréal’s tradition and adds to its inspiring atmosphere. While supporting a significant Anglophone population, it is the second largest French-speaking city in the world.
Montréal is famed for its innovative culinary scene and festivals that run throughout the year. As North America’s number one choice for international events and festivals, it was also the first metropolis to be designated a UNESCO City of Design by the Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity.
The city is recognized globally as an important centre for commerce, aerospace, transport, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, gaming, film and world affairs.

The Role and Expected Duties
The Chair will establish an active research program that focuses on the molecular roles that lipids play in biology. Research questions investigated by the candidate may include (but not limited to) time- and stressor-dependent perturbations in the lipidomes related to cell-cell signaling, role of lipids in promoting or resolving inflammation, microbial lipidomics, whole-body energy regulation, the lipid underpinnings of metabolic disease, and unpacking the role lipids play in ageing and tumorigenesis. Additional foci may include the complex lipid changes induced by viral infections and the impacts xenobiotics on lipid and hormonal metabolism. The proposed CRC will develop the Lipidomics platform necessary to investigate the emerging areas of biology.The proposed position will build on the existing UCalgary strengths in metabolomics, proteomics, and peptidomics. This new CRC-based program will work closely with the Calgary Metabolomics Research Facility (CMRF), one of Canada’s largest mass spectrometry facilities for small molecules, and will interface with the existing suite of structural biology, physical chemistry, and wet laboratory facilities housed in the Department of Biological Sciences building. The CRC will advance institutional leadership in the analysis of big data and augment our existing excellence in the biomolecular computing through the Centre for Molecular Simulation (CMS). The CRC in Chemical Lipidomics will provide a cross-disciplinary bridge for the already existing programs in Biochemistry (BCEM), Cell, Microbial and Molecular Biology (BCEM), Nanotechnology/Material Chemistry and Biological/Medicinal Chemistry programs in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry. The Chair will have unique opportunities to interact with leading researchers in health sciences, structural biology, microscopy, structural proteomics and technology development.
The long-term goal for the CRC chair is to develop a vibrant and internationally recognized research program in alignment with institutional and the Faculty of Science strategic research plans. More specifically, the CRC chair position fits within the institutional research priorities in “Engineering Solutions for Health” and “Infection, Immunity, and Chronic Diseases” and the Faculty of Science grand challenge in the “Personalized Health at the Molecular Level.” The successful candidate will possess the attributes and desire to lead research initiatives within strategic interdisciplinary themes at the University of Calgary, to build on current strengths, to develop strategy for future growth and promote program development combined with both student engagement and experience. Additionally, the Chair will play an important role in teaching and research supervision of students in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry undergraduate and graduate programs. Service to the Department, Faculty, University, and Community is also expected.
