Tenure-track Associate Professor in Terrestrial Global Hydrology & Climatology<br>

<p>Applications are invited for a tenure-track position at the Associate Professor level in the Department of Geography beginning July 1, 2013. </p>
<p>The appointee’s teaching and research will focus on modelling large basin, continental or global-scale stores and movement of freshwater. We are particularly interested in someone whose research couples large scale hydrology with changes in climate, land cover/use, and/or the human appropriation of water, and their effect on the freshwater hydrological cycle. Research should emphasize geophysical controls, biogeochemical transfers, links with climate, and/or integration across scales in hydrological systems. Resolving the global water cycle and determining how human activity is altering this cycle is recognized as a “grand challenge” in the undergraduate Earth System Science program at McGill University. Expertise in global terrestrial hydrology will be an obvious asset in McGill’s FQRNT-funded Global Environmental and Climate Change Centre, and complement existing expertise in land use/land cover change, biogeochemistry, landscape ecology, and fluvial and periglacial geomorphology in the Department of Geography. </p>
<p>Such a position would be consistent with the inter-disciplinary Environment theme elaborated in the McGill ‘White Paper’: <a href="http://www.mcgill.ca/files/provost/Strengths_and_Aspirations_June_2006.pdf">http://www.mcgill.ca/files/provost/Strengths_and_Aspirations_June_2006.pdf</a>. </p>
<p>It is also consistent with the greater attention to ‘sustainability’ that has been adopted by McGill. </p>
<p>Applicants must possess a PhD and have demonstrated excellence in research, teaching and communication. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. </p>
<p>McGill University is committed to equity in employment and diversity. It welcomes applications from indigenous peoples, visible minorities, ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, women, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities and others who may contribute to further diversification. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, priority will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada. </p>
<p>Candidates should ensure that their curriculum vitae, statements of teaching specializations and research interests, up to three reprints, and letters from three referees are sent to the following address. The review of applications will begin March 19, 2013 and applications will be accepted until the position is filled. </p>
