The University of Northern British Columbia invites applications for a three-year term position in the Department of Ecosystem Science & Management at the rank of Assistant Professor, with proposed starting date of August 1, 2024. As an institution committed to the fostering of an inclusive and transformative learning environment, UNBC values high quality and growth in both teaching and scholarship. UNBC’s Department of Ecosystem Science & Management oversees Bachelor of Science, undergraduate degrees in: Biology; Conservation Science & Practice; Forest Ecology & Management; and Wildlife & Fisheries, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Nature and Resource-based Management. Faculty supervise graduate students (Masters and Doctoral) within the Natural Resources & Environmental Studies (NRES) Graduate Program. 

We seek candidates for a three-year term position that can contribute to delivery of key courses in support of our Biology and Wildlife & Fisheries degree programs. This would include experience in teaching both lower-division courses in Introductory Biology and Ecology, as well as upper-division courses relevant to evolutionary biology, animal ecology and management. Candidates would also have opportunity to supervise research of undergraduate and co-supervise graduate students. 

Applicants should have completed a Ph.D. in Biology or a closely related discipline. Ideally, applicants will have post-doctoral and/or professional experience and have demonstrated teaching experience at the University level. Candidates should be prepared to teach several courses a year, which could include over the three-year period: BIOL 103 (Introductory Biology I); BIOL 104 (Introductory Biology II); BIOL 110 (Introduction to Ecology; BIOL 201 (Ecology); BIOL 323 (Evolution); BIOL 410 (Population & Community Ecology) and/or BIOL 420 (Animal Behaviour). Most courses will be in person delivery, but some component each year will also involve online delivery in either blended or full capacity, so candidates with experience in diverse methods of teaching are preferred. Other courses may be considered based on background of the applicant. Students from multiple degree programs within the Dept of Ecosystems Science and Management, as well as across the Faculty of Environment and Faculty of Science & Engineering may participate in these courses, so prior experience teaching to a broad diversity of undergraduate students will be considered an asset
