Position Description:         

The Department of Natural Resource Sciences of McGill University invites

Responsibilities: The successful candidate is expected to perform research
on the physical, chemical and biological components and processes of soils
that control the fluxes of water, contaminants, carbon, nutrients and
greenhouse gases from ecosystems. The research program will address soil
biogeochemistry in the context of natural and anthropogenic disturbances,
such as sustainable agriculture, land use change, pollution from trace
metals and persistent organic substances, spatial soil heterogeneity and
global climate change.

 

The selected applicant's record of performance must demonstrate achievement
and evidence of outstanding research potential in the area of environmental
soil biogeochemistry. The successful candidate must demonstrate an ability
and commitment to teaching excellence in agricultural and environmental
sciences at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

This position will complement the Department of Natural Resource Science's

entomology, microbiology, economics and natural resource policy. The
successful candidate should have experience and interest in working with
interdisciplinary groups.

 

Qualifications: The successful applicant will hold a Ph.D. in a relevant
field, such as soil science, biogeoscience, applied physical chemistry,
vadose zone hydrology, environmental sciences or environmental engineering.

Appointment is expected to be at the rank of Assistant Professor, but
appointment at a higher rank is possible under exceptional circumstances.

Applications should include a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae, a
research statement that includes achievements and future plans, up to three
publications in PDF format, a summary of teaching interests and experience,
