This new position will add a teaching-focused (APA) faculty member in physical geography who has the vision, time, drive, and expertise to contribute to the continued delivery and renewal of our undergraduate programming. Our vision is that this new APA faculty
member, a physical geographer, will have expertise at the intersection of environmental management and science, and will possess the quantitative skills (e.g. GIScience, geostatistics, spatial modeling) and field research capabilities needed for the development
of innovative, engaging, and practical experiential learning opportunities that will enhance our undergraduate programming in physical geography. We also anticipate that the new hire would expand professional development opportunities for our undergraduates
through, for example, new and enhanced co-op learning initiatives with community, government, and industry partners to ensure student job readiness upon degree completion.

Teaching in physical geography (including environmental management) in the department plays an important role in the BASc degree in Environment and Society and in the BSc degree in Environmental Earth Sciences, the latter of which leads to professional accreditation
with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS). Physical geography also contributes to the training of undergraduate students in other programs, both within our College (e.g., BSc degrees in Geology and Environmental
Biology) and in other Colleges (e.g., BSc in Renewable Resource Management and BSA in Environmental Science, College of Agriculture and Bioresources; and the Certificate of Proficiency in Sustainability, SENS).</p>
