About this award:

This endowed award was created thanks to a bequest from Dorothy M. 
Deane, widow of the late Prof Roger E Deane, an alumnus of the 
Department of Geology, University of Toronto (U of T). Prof Deane 
obtained a PhD in 1949 under the supervision of Prof Alexander Maclean, 
and returned to U of T as a faculty member in 1955, pursuing research in 
the areas of glacial geology and Pleistocene paleoenvironments. Prof 
Deane served as the inaugural Director of Research at the U of T Great 
Lakes Institute which eventually contributed to the founding of the U of 
T School of the Environment. Prof Deane died in a tragic boating 
accident near Tobermory, Ontario in 1965 while undertaking field work.

Salary

CAD$61,000 per year

Term

Application deadline

*April 18 2024, 11:59 PM Eastern time*

Selection criteria

Applicants must have a PhD in Earth Sciences, Geology, Environmental 
Science or closely related field at the time of taking up the appointment.

The winner will be selected on the bases of academic excellence, merit 
of the proposal, and potential to contribute to the geosciences. 
Applications will also be evaluated on how the proposal merges the 
specialties of the applicant and the proposed supervisor, so submitted 
proposals should cover greater scope than a reiteration of the 
applicant’s doctoral work. Bringing new perspectives to the Department, 
and bringing experiences and meaningful plans for connecting to groups 
that have been historically marginalized in the geosciences, are also 
criteria that will be considered in our evaluation of excellence.

How to apply:

A complete application includes:

  * Cover letter with the potential supervisor(s) name clearly stated (1
    page maximum)
  * Research proposal (2 pages single spaced at most, excluding references)
  * Updated /Curriculum Vitae/
  * The names, addresses, email addresses and institutional affiliations
    of three referees. Referees will only be contacted for shortlisted
    candidates.
  * A statement on the applicant’s contribution and/or commitment to
    equity, diversity and inclusion in the geosciences (1 page maximum
    or included in the cover letter).
