[ES_JOBS_NET] New Faculty Positions at the School of The Environment, University of Toronto

[Jennifer Murphy]

Two positions are offered:

1)Assistant Professor, Aquatic Ecology and Environmental Science

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the School of  
the Environment at the University of Toronto invite applications for a  
cross-appointed tenure-stream position in Aquatic Ecology and  
Environmental Science. The position is at the rank of Assistant  
Professor with an expected start date of July 1, 2014. The appointment  
is 51% in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and 49%  
in the School of the Environment.

We seek a candidate who conducts conceptually driven research, using  
field, lab, and/or quantitative approaches to study issues in aquatic  
ecology. Research may be at the level of population, community,  
landscape, and/or ecosystem. We seek applications from candidates  
whose research program fits well with the highly collaborative  
research in our Department and in the recently formed School.  
Successful applicants will have a PhD by date of appointment
or shortly thereafter, with an outstanding academic record and will be  
expected to build an active, externally funded and internationally  
recognized research program. The appointee will demonstrate potential

2) Assistant Professor, Experimental Climate Physics

The Department of Physics, and the School of the Environment at the  
University of Toronto invite applications for a cross-appointed  
tenure-stream appointment in Experimental Climate Physics (51%  
Department of Physics & 49% School of the Environment). The  
appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing  
July 1, 2014.

We seek a candidate with a focus on remote sensing of climate  
variables that can be used in high-resolution models to improve  
scientific knowledge of the origins and nature of regional climate  
variability on decadal to centennial time scales, with an emphasis on  
processes occurring at high latitudes. Possible research areas include  
chemistry-climate feedbacks, clouds and aerosols, polar climate  
variability, sea-ice retreat, Arctic climate and cryosphere,  
atmosphere-cryosphere interactions, and carbon reservoirs. We are  
particularly interested in applications from candidates whose research  
program fits well with the Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Physics  
group and within the newly established School of the Environment.
