Assistant Professor in the Human Dimensions of Environmental Change
Assistant Professor in the Human Dimensions of Environmental Change, Institute
for Resources, Environment and Sustainability (IRES) at the College for
Interdisciplinary Studies, The University of British Columbia
The Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability (IRES) invites
applications for a tenure track position, at the rank of Assistant Professor,
in the human dimensions of environmental change, to commence July 1, 2009.
Salary will be commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the
candidate.
IRES has enjoyed over three decades of leading edge interdisciplinary research
on the environment and sustainability. It serves as a crucible for new research
partnerships from across the University and beyond, and supports a graduate
program of over 80 PhD and 40 master's students. Additional information about
the research and teaching programs, as well as our state-of-the-art research
facilities, can be found at www.ires.ubc.ca.
We seek an outstanding interdisciplinary scholar with a strong grounding in the
social sciences, behavioural sciences or humanities who aspires to develop an
internationally recognized research program in an area related to fields such
as the built environment, water, energy and/or natural resources. The research
field is open, although the scholar must be strongly empirical. Topical domains
might include but are not limited to knowledge, politics and regulation;
environment, economy and decision making; or the intersection of history and
ecology. The ideal candidate will also have demonstrated engagement with a
broad spectrum of society outside of academia. An orientation toward
integrative interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate linkages across the
human and natural worlds is required.
The successful candidate will be joining a strong and cohesive unit, with a
wide range of skills and interests, which has succeeded in recruiting and
training the very best students. The successful candidate must have a completed
PhD and have demonstrated potential in research and in teaching at graduate and
undergraduate levels. The successful candidate will be expected to teach
graduate courses in his/her area of specialization; teaching in collaboration
with other units across the UBC campus, especially at the undergraduate level,
is an encouraged option. Strong training in qualitative methods with competence
in survey or quantitative design is desirable.
Applicants should submit a cover letter identifying teaching and research
interests and accomplishments, a curriculum vitae, and copies of representative
publications, and contact information for three referees (one referee must not
be a co-author), to the following address no later than September 30th, 2008.
All queries and applications should be directed to: Professor Gunilla Öberg,
Director, Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability, The
University of British Columbia, 2202 Main Mall Vancouver, B.C., Canada, V6T

UBC hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity. All
qualified persons are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent
residents of Canada will be given priority.
