Assistant Professor in Earth Science Discipline-Based Education Research

The Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) at the
University of British Columbia (UBC) invites applicants for a full-time,
tenure-track Assistant Professorship in Earth Science Discipline-Based
Education Research. We seek an innovative researcher and educator who will
conduct internationally-recognized research on the development,
application, and assessment of best-practices in Discipline-Based Education
Research (DBER), with a focus on experiential learning in the Earth
Sciences (e.g., Geology, Geological Engineering, Environmental Sciences,
Oceanography, Atmospheric Sciences, Geophysics, Hydrogeology). Experiential
learning is defined here as an educational process that engages students
with authentic situations and applications in classroom, laboratory or
field settings, and includes experiences that occur outside of a
traditional university learning space.

UBC and EOAS recognize that equity and diversity are essential to academic
excellence, and that an open and diverse community fosters the inclusion of
voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged, leading to more
relevant and impactful research and teaching. Accordingly, we particularly
encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized
on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code. This includes
racialization, status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous
person, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability,
political belief, religion, marital or family status and/or age. Our
department is committed to confronting systemic biases, particularly as
they affect individuals from Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC)
communities, and intersect with other forms of discrimination.  EOAS is
committed to supporting success for individuals from
traditionally-disadvantaged groups, building on existing efforts across the
UBC Faculty of Science to promote equity, diversity and inclusion in our
research and teaching missions (https://science.ubc.ca/faculty/diversity).

The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Earth Science Education or an
Earth Science discipline at the time of appointment. They will have
conducted theoretically-grounded pedagogical research and show promise of
making significant contributions to Earth Science education research
including cognitive and/or affective aspects of experiential learning.

This position will build on EOAS’s global leadership in Earth Science
education, with the potential to bridge to other disciplines that are
interested in strengthening or developing experiential learning programs.
The candidate will be expected to develop a strong, externally-funded and
internationally-recognized research program, successfully supervise
graduate students and participate in departmental activities. EOAS is
dedicated to practicing excellence in evidence-based learning, and provides
a supporting environment to achieve this, including implementing such
practices as paired teaching for new faculty members. A focus on innovative
teaching methods is essential, along with demonstrated potential for
teaching excellence within one of the undergraduate specializations in
EOAS. An interest in contributing to research in field-based learning
experiences is also desirable, but not required.

EOAS is the top-ranked and largest Earth Sciences department in Canada,
with research and teaching interests spanning the history of the Earth and
the evolution of its structure from core to stratosphere (
http://www.eoas.ubc.ca/). We seek candidates who have the capacity and
interest to interact with other teaching and learning clusters both within
and outside EOAS, and demonstrate the potential to forge links with other
national and international Science Education research groups, and with
other stakeholder groups, including Indigenous communities. Candidates
should possess a strong record of research productivity in Earth Science
education commensurate with their experience, or if limited in
opportunities to demonstrate this, be able to communicate a strong
potential and vision for research in this area.

UBC’s Vancouver campus is situated on the traditional, ancestral and
unceded lands of the Musqueam people, surrounded by forest, ocean and
mountains. Vancouver is consistently ranked as one of the top cities in the
world for quality of life. It is a diverse and welcoming city, made up of
different religions, ethnicities, and cultural groups from all over the
world, and from Canada's Indigenous communities. This diversity is
reflected in the student population in EOAS and UBC, and is a source of the
city's strength, vitality, and prosperity. UBC seeks to recruit and retain
a workforce that is representative of Vancouver's diversity, to maintain
the excellence of the University, and to offer students richly varied
perspectives and ways of knowing and learning.



How to Apply:

Candidates should visit https://www.eoas.ubc.ca/assistant-prof-dber.

   1. a cover letter,
   2. a detailed curriculum vitae,
   3. a one-page summary of research interests and accomplishments,
   4. a one-page outline of a potential five-year research program,
   including potential funding sources,
   5. a one-page statement of teaching philosophy,
   6. a one-page statement describing their experiences with diversity, and
   their planned contributions to creating/advancing a culture of equity and
   inclusion,
   7. up to three recent publications (or other research contributions), and
   8. the names and contact information for three referees.



Referees will be contacted for those applicants selected for further
consideration. The closing deadline for applications is January 31, 2021.
The successful applicant would be expected to start as soon as July 2021,
