Careers https://cmos.in1touch.org Careers 03/28/2024 Dalhousie University - Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Observational Chemical Oceanography https://cmos.in1touch.org/client/career/careerDetail.html?careerId=4189 Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Observational Chemical Oceanography

The Department of Oceanography at Dalhousie University is seeking applicants for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Observational Chemical Oceanography. Applicants must have a strong record of research excellence. The applicants should have expertise in measuring inorganic carbon parameters and other climate-relevant chemical properties, and interest and experience in sea-going research and ocean sensors. The applicants’ program of research should complement the existing research activities by chemical, biological, geological and physical oceanographers in the Department. Interests and experience with cross-disciplinary oceanographic research and inter-disciplinary research with areas outside of oceanography are an asset.

The Canada Research Chair (CRC) program was established by the Canadian Federal Government with the purpose of attracting outstanding researchers to the Canadian university system. Tier 2 Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e. the candidate must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination). Applicants who are more than 10 years from their highest degree (and where career breaks exist, including maternity leave, extended sick leave, etc.) may have their eligibility for a CRC Tier 2 assessed through the program’s Tier 2 justification process. Please contact Dalhousie’s Office of Research Services and see the CRC website (www.chairs.gc.ca) for more information on eligibility.

Dalhousie recognizes that career paths can be diverse and that career interruptions may occur. Applicants are encouraged to include, in their cover letter, an explanation of the impact that any career interruptions may have had on their record of research achievement.

The successful applicant may have research support from the Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI). OFI brings together elite researchers and institutes from across the globe to tackle complex ocean challenges. Research is focused on three key areas: achieving net zero, protecting biodiversity, and sustaining bioresources. The OFI was created through an initial $93.7M award (Safe and Sustainable Development of the Ocean Frontier) from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF). Dalhousie was recently awarded an additional $154M CFREF award (Transforming Climate Action (TCA); www.ofi.ca/programs/transform-climate-action) that will be administered by the OFI. The successful applicant will actively engage with the TCA mission and program. In addition, the successful applicant will have immediate access to a highly functional, state-of-the-art laboratory space and equipment within the CERC.OCEAN laboratory at Dalhousie University. This laboratory is used by various faculty members at the university but is especially well-suited for accommodating chemical oceanographic analyses.

The successful applicant will be appointed to a tenure-stream position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. The anticipated start date is 1 July 2025, or as negotiated. The application should include (i) a detailed curriculum vitae, (ii) a two- to three-page statement of research interests, (iii) a two- to three-page teaching statement, (iv) a one- to two-page statement on your track record related to and/or interest in Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA), (v) three representative publications, and (vi) the names and contact information of three references. Applications must be submitted online via the PeopleAdmin posting at
https://dal.peopleadmin.ca/postings/15797
.

In keeping with the principles of employment equity and the CRC program’s equity targets, this position is designated to candidates who self-identify in one or more of the following groups: women, gender minorities, and persons Indigenous to Turtle Island (North America). All such qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Dalhousie recognizes that candidates may self-identify in more than one equity-deserving group, and in this spirit, encourages applications from candidates who, in addition to belonging to the groups mentioned above, also identity as persons with a disability, Mi’kmaq, persons of Black/African descent (especially African Nova Scotians) and other racialized persons, persons identifying as members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and all candidates who would contribute to the diversity of our community.

Wilfrid Laurier University - Masters and Doctoral Research Opportunities https://cmos.in1touch.org/client/career/careerDetail.html?careerId=4190 Interested in working with us?

Check out these great opportunities!

Masters and Doctoral research opportunities in the Canadian Arctic, Impacts of changing climate on permafrost, streamflow and

radionuclide mobility in the western Canadian Arctic

Professor Philip Marsh, Arctic Hydrology Research Group, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, CA

Dr. Elizabeth Priebe, P.Geo, Hydrogeochemist, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, Chalk River, Ontario, CA

 

The Arctic is undergoing rapid and unprecedented climate change that is impacting streamflow with effects on ecosystems, communities, and infrastructure. These graduate opportunities will be focussed on developing improved understanding of these impacts on the Arctic through the integration of our existing long term data sets and permafrost-hydrology models in order to consider past and future changes in streams and lakes in the western Canadian Arctic. These positions will work with our collaborators at the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories to address the concern that legacy fallout radionuclides are being released from thawing permafrost and transported through freshwater streams.

These positions will focus on the western Canadian Arctic at our Trail Valley creek (TVC) (www.trailvalleycreek.ca) research station, but will have cross Arctic applications. Multi-decadal long hydrologic monitoring and research conducted at TVC makes it a unique natural laboratory for carrying out this project.

 

We invite applications to the following MSc or PhD positions:

1.  Field studies of permafrost hydrology runoff processes,

  1. Mathematical modelling of coupled permafrost-hydrology-lake models for increased predictive capabilities, and
  2. Field, lab and modelling studies of legacy fallout radionuclides being released from thawing permafrost and transported through freshwater streams

 

Past experience in Arctic field work, physics-based mathematical models, and water chemistry is a benefit. Further information on the Geography Program at Laurier is available at: https://uwaterloo.ca/waterloo-laurier-graduate-program-in-geography/

 

Ideal candidates should have previous degrees in relevant disciplines (e.g., numerical methods, hydrology, geography, earth science, environmental science, engineering, physics, and/or atmospheric science), and should possess aptitude and enthusiasm for understanding the integrated impacts of climate change on Arctic systems. For the modelling positions, we especially encourage applicants with an interest in high-resolution hydrologic modelling, and proficiency in numerical methods, physics and with appropriate modelling tools. Experience in northern environments is an asset for all positions but is not required.

Graduate students at Laurier receive competitive funding packages that come from a combination of teaching assistantships, internal scholarships, and research assistantships. All students are strongly encouraged to apply for a variety of external scholarships. Students in Melnik’s and Marsh’s research teams have been very successful in receiving such external awards over the past years. Canadian applicants are strongly encouraged to apply. Funding for Arctic field research is provided by external research grants.

 

https://www.wlu.ca/academics/faculties/graduate-and-postdoctoral-studies/funding-at-a- glance/index.html

 

Candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible by contacting Professor Marsh. Please submit a cover letter highlighting relevant experience and your interest in joining our research team, a list of courses taken and marks, and a curriculum vitae to: pmarsh@wlu.ca and elizabeth.priebe@cnl.ca with the subject line “Arctic Hydrology Graduate Students”.

Applicants will be reviewed in order they are received until successful candidates are found.
