[Christine Wiedinmyer]

Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in
Physical Oceanography

The Department of Oceanography at Dalhousie University is seeking applicants for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Physical Oceanography.  Applicants must hold a PhD in Physical Oceanography or a closely related discipline, and have a strong record of research excellence.  The applicants' research should address ocean dynamics on a range of temporal and spatial scales, and it should complement the existing research activities by physical oceanography faculty in the Department, e.g., ocean models and observational analyses, shelf and deep ocean circulation, nearshore processes, air-sea interactions, climate variability, ocean acoustics, and mixing.  Interests in cross-disciplinary oceanographic research are an asset.


The successful applicant may find research support from existing centres of excellence at Dalhousie (e.g., MEOPAR) and from the newly created Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI).  OFI brings together elite researchers and institutes from across the globe to understand our changing oceans and create safe, sustainable solutions for ocean development.  Including a $93.7M award through the Canada First Research Excellence Fund program (CFREF), government, private and partner contributions, the OFI is a $220M enterprise.

The successful applicant will be appointed to a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor.  The anticipated start date is 1 July 2019, or as negotiated.  The application should include a detailed curriculum vitae, a two- to three-page statement of research interests, three representative publications, the names and contact information of three references, and a completed Self-ID questionnaire (www.dal.ca/becounted/selfid<http://www.dal.ca/becounted/selfid>).  Review of applications will begin on 4 June 2018 and will continue until the position is filled.  Please send the complete application as a single pdf to the address below:

The Canada Research Chair (CRC) program was established by the Canadian Federal Government with the purpose of attracting outstanding researchers to the Canadian university system.  Tier 2 Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e. the candidate must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination).  Applicants who are more than 10 years from their highest degree (and where career breaks exist, including maternity leave, extended sick leave, etc.) may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair assessed through the program's Tier 2 justification process.  Please contact the research grants office and see the CRC website (www.chairs.gc.ca<http://secure-web.cisco.com/1xsKLT7rN2USw4OHfkADlGuZUn2zX2dElCnCdEr6xyqcxeVbJyy2RnkWGv99u7El-Vrc2_tRBxRFvlNs-WImx4A6B2VQS19kCg4C_2ruNg8xROW94EpXZ1P3Bj0Kqu8xsNK2IPMBJTEO-svvpO2J0CCffzJjVsQfh4F27J--no0W1rLUDMI9zKSWjBHorvne9-9kdT0ze-Ita_p_6jeaELZyZ-fF-J-k4x1iO6HlEvxHL7LoaBp60TuUb_qRaNKbdOCMLATmEwhTMGNpHh-3CgHYHzYjEp4kv8e8-gO_X6Cff77Qz5PEWlR5b37JXtvOEQWRQXh6XOybPEhH3K7TY_JiXiCakc9aYx_9XnBQD6Cn4KAQwyGberdcIxbz7uaet4hyPlOHmLgA5s4V9z9MstSpdXtrSXZG-54osBwGqgvtFMB2kbVNMSGguK6OlPxBBbhmkPnCOm2q9_nHNWckzZg/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chairs.gc.ca%2F>) for more information on eligibility.
