Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in Earth and Space Science at York 
University

Applications are invited for a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at the rank of 
Associate or Full Professor in the areas of Earth and Space Science. The 
anticipated start date is January 1, 2012. The primary affiliation of the 
successful candidate will be with the Department of Earth and Space 
Science & Engineering (ESSE) within the Faculty of Science and 
Engineering. The selected candidate will also become a member of the 
Centre for Research in Earth and Space Science (CRESS). The intent is to 
build on the heritage and strength of CRESS in experimental science, 
particularly for research in areas associated with climate change and 
planetary science. The ideal candidate will have an outstanding track 
record in leading a research program involving laboratory development of 
scientific instruments that are applied in Earth based field measurements, 
and also space missions. Candidates are sought who would bring a new 
research program to York University that compliments ongoing work within 
CRESS and makes use of similar platforms for field research (e.g. 
aircraft, balloons, spacecraft). It is expected that the selected 
candidate will attract support from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and 
provide leadership for imminent expansion plans in the areas of Earth and 
Space Science.

Candidates must have a Ph.D., post doctoral experience, an outstanding 
record in research and teaching, and demonstrated leadership ability. This 
appointment is subject to approval by the CRC program review process.
