********************************************

The School of Earth and Ocean Sciences (SEOS) at the University of Victoria
invites applications for a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor position in
Paleobiology/Paleoceanography, to commence as early as July 1, 2020. We
seek a researcher in paleobiology or paleoceanography who uses biological
records to investigate the interaction of life with past global
environments. We particularly seek candidates who will develop a research
focus that examines the Earth as a system. The candidate will be able to
interact broadly with faculty who specialize in solid-earth, earth-surface,
 ocean, and atmosphere processes.

The successful candidate will develop a vigorous, independent,
externally-funded research program that complements existing strengths in
SEOS. It is also expected that the candidate will supervise undergraduate
and graduate students, and teach undergraduate and graduate courses,
including paleobiology, ideally marine geology, and other Earth-sciences
courses. A PhD is required at the time of application and post-doctoral
experience is desirable. Commensurate with their career stage, qualified
candidates must have an excellent record of research published in or
submitted to leading scientific journals. Effective teaching and student
supervision are expected, supported by evidence which may include past
experience, references, a teaching statement (see below), and the
presentation of a candidacy seminar.

The University of Victoria is consistently ranked in the top tier of
Canada’s research-intensive universities. Vital impact drives the UVic

Applications, in a single pdf file, should include a letter of application,

interests and direction, and a one-page statement describing their teaching
experience and philosophy. In these statements, applicants should also
indicate how they support diversity and inclusiveness in research and
teaching. Applications or requests for further information should be sent
electronically to Dr. Stan Dosso, Director, School of Earth and Ocean
Sciences, at seos at uvic.ca. Review of applications will begin on Dec. 1 and
