Memorial University's vibrant Faculty of Science is home to a diverse and engaged student body, including 1,500 undergraduates declared in science programs and more than 700 graduate students. Supported by a dedicated team of over 125 staff and approximately 200 faculty positions, the Faculty of Science is well-positioned as a mainstay for academic excellence and innovation. The successful candidate will be an accomplished leader, recognized for advancing research, teaching and outreach.

In 2021, three of the Faculty's departments moved into the state-of-the art Core Science facility which serves as a catalyst for collaboration and research, while also housing our state-of-the-art teaching labs.
