Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Agriculture: Environmental Chemistry

The Department of Plant, Food, and Environmental Sciences in Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Agriculture invites applications for a tenure stream Assistant Professor position with Teaching, Research, and Service responsibilities. The successful candidate will commence as early as July 1, 2021.

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);
• a detailed CV;
• a prospective research plan which includes your approach to EDI* (3 page maximum);
• a statement on teaching interests, experience, and philosophy which includes your approach to EDI* (2 page maximum);
• reprints of three recent and relevant publications; and
• names, affiliations, and emails of three references. (note: Applicants selected for further consideration will be notified before referees are contacted)

*EDI – A statement (2 paragraphs maximum) relating to how you will integrate and promote equity, diversity, and inclusivity in research and teaching.

About MRU

Founded in 1910 and located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mount Royal University grew into a vibrant college in the 1930s and became a mid-sized university in 2009. Mount Royal has carved out a distinct niche by offering smaller class sizes, a robust liberal education and unique undergraduate programs. Currently, more than 14,000 credit students choose from 12 bachelor degrees and 36 majors.

Mount Royal University is located in the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina and the Iyarhe Nakoda. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. The traditional Blackfoot name of this place is "Mohkinstsis," which we now call the city of Calgary. The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation.

Mount Royal University is committed to removing barriers and fostering the inclusion of voices that have been historically underrepresented or discouraged in our society. In support of our belief that diversity in our faculty and staff enriches the work, learning and research experiences for the entire campus community, we strongly encourage members of the designated groups (women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and diverse sexual orientation and gender identities) to apply and self-identify.

 

About the Faculty of Science and Technology

The Department of Chemistry and Physics, Faculty of Science and Technology at Mount Royal University invites applications for a tenure track position which will commence July 1, 2021, subject to final budgetary approval, at the Rank of Assistant Professor.

 About the Role

The successful candidate will be a passionate teacher who will make substantial contributions to the teaching of Analytical Chemistry, as well as its interactions with other chemistry subdisciplines. Mount Royal’s General Education program is an important part of all Mount Royal bachelor degrees, offering a broad, liberal education that complements discipline-specific training, and the successful candidate would also have the possibility to teach in this program if desired.

The candidate will have a scholarship plan that is meaningful and appropriate to an undergraduate institution where teaching is the primary focus. The scholarship program may be discipline-focused and/or in the area of chemistry education research, but should involve undergraduate students in a substantive way.

The department is dedicated to providing teaching and laboratory experiences for undergraduate students through course-based instruction, community service learning, independent research experiences and other means. The ability to attract external funding, or clear promise thereof, is also desirable.

A Ph.D. in Chemistry / Biochemistry or closely related field is required. The successful candidate should also have significant experience in the use and development of analytical methods. A strong commitment to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, particularly how they relate to science, would be an asset.

New faculty are hired into one of two work patterns. The teaching / scholarship / service pattern (TSS) has a focus on teaching with the requirement that the faculty member be involved in a research program as well as service to the Mount Royal community. The teaching / service pattern (TS) has a focus on teaching and service only. The successful candidate will be hired into the teaching / scholarship / service pattern (TSS). There is an option to change work patterns after tenure.
