Department of Physics & Astronomy

Faculty Position

The Department of Physics and Astronomy invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position, funded for the first five years jointly by UBC and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) under the NSERC University Faculty Awards Program, directed to women and Aboriginal peoples. The position will commence July 1st, 2002. The competition will be open to any sub-field of physics or astronomy that fits with the department's interests (see http://www.physics.ubc.ca). The preferred candidate will be nominated for an NSERC University Faculty Award and must meet NSERC's eligibility criteria for this award, which may be found at http://www.nserc.ca/programs/sf/41_e.htm . The goal of the University Faculty Awards program is to increase the representation of women and Aboriginal peoples in faculty positions in the natural sciences and engineering by encouraging Canadian universities to appoint very promising researchers in those groups to tenure-track positions in science and engineering. Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree, an outstanding research record, an aptitude for undergraduate and graduate teaching, and be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. The appointment is intended to be at the Assistant Professor level, however an appointment at a higher level may be considered provided the applicant has not previously held a tenure-track position at a Canadian university. UBC hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests and future plans, and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent by August 24th, 2001 to:

Professor T.Tiedje, Head Department of Physics and Astronomy University of British Columbia 6224 Agricultural Road Vancouver, B.C. V6T 1Z1, Canada
