<span class="x_Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif; font-size:13px">The Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of McGill University is a world leader addressing the challenges associated with ensuring a reliable, safe, and
robust food system, stretching from production to processing, manufacturing, storage, distribution and consumption of safe and healthy foods. The Faculty comprises departments, schools, institutes and centres devoted to teaching, research, and public engagement
and outreach in all aspects of food production, food science, human nutrition, plant and animal health, food safety and food security. These are areas of academic priority in the University and Faculty Strategic Plans.</span><br>
<span class="x_Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif; font-size:13px"> </span><br>
<span class="x_Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif; font-size:13px">To capitalize on new undergraduate and graduate curricula, infrastructure improvements, recruitment of Chairs and Scholars, and external research and endowed support
for our growing programs in nutrition, health, parasitology, water, food safety and food security, the Faculty is embarking on an ambitious academic recruitment program. We seek highly talented individuals who will lead innovative research programs focused
on the development of the next generation of analytical tools, models and methodologies aimed at delivering a secure and safe food system, nationally and internationally. These recruitments will strengthen the Faculty's teaching and research programs in “omics”
technologies, food toxicology, risk assessment and mitigation, systems analysis and modeling, and public and social policy implications of technology advances in the agriculture-food-nutrition-health continuum.</span><br>
