Tenure track positions in comparative physiology

The Department of Biology at the University of Ottawa invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor. The successful candidate will demonstrate the potential to build an internationally recognized and externally funded research program that fully engages trainees at all levels, building collaborations within and beyond our collegial, research-intensive department. Candidates must be able to teach in both French and English at the time of hiring at undergraduate and graduate levels. The starting date is July 1, 2025.

For this position in comparative physiology, we are seeking candidates interested in physiological mechanisms using integrative approaches linking the cell to the whole animal or at the interface with the field of ecology and evolution. Although our interests are broad, we are particularly interested in candidates researching the physiology of invertebrates in changing environments, one of the established and growing areas of expertise in the Department. The successful candidate will join an established group of comparative physiologists working on diverse research areas using invertebrate and vertebrate models.

The successful candidate will join a research-intensive, growing Department of 40 researchers working in a wide range of fields, including cell and molecular biology, physiology, ecotoxicology, neuroscience, developmental biology, ecology and conservation, evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, and science education. The Department maintains close collaborations with researchers at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, the University of Ottawa Brain and Mind Research Institute, the Ottawa Heart Institute, Carleton University, federal science departments and agencies, and the Canadian Museum of Nature. The Faculty of Science provides access to core facilities for molecular biology, genomics, chemistry, microscopy and aquatic animal care to all its members.

Title of the position: Assistant Professor

Duties: Responsibilities include: 1) maintaining a robust, externally funded research program; 2) supervision of graduate and undergraduate student thesis projects in the Department; 3) teaching undergraduate and graduate courses that contribute to the bilingual (English-French) Biology or Biomedical Sciences curriculum; and 4) performing an active role within the Department by contributing to administrative and academic activities of the Department, and Faculty of Science.

Rank and salary: Regular tenure-track academic appointment in the Faculty of Science, with a salary consistent with the collective agreement of the Association of Professors of the University of Ottawa. The base salary for assistant professors is $94,588 (May 1, 2023 salary scale).

Required qualifications: PhD in Biology or a related discipline. Postdoctoral experience is expected. A demonstrated track record of research excellence must be clearly presented, along with commitment and strategies for teaching and graduate training. The candidate must be able to teach in both French and English, the two official languages of the University, at the time of hiring.

Application package: More information regarding Academic Careers can be found online. Applications must be submitted electronically through the University of Ottawa Careers portal. Candidates should include the following in their application:

- A one-page cover letter formally expressing interest in the position and including a statement demonstrating their ability to teach in French and English
- A full curriculum vitae (please include career interruptions such as parental or sick leaves that may have impacted your record of research. These will be taken into consideration in the selection process)
- A detailed research plan (3 pages maximum)
- A statement of teaching interests and how principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion will be included in training of research group members (1 page)
- Contact information of three references
- Three peer-reviewed publications
- Self-Identification Form: The University of Ottawa is committed to ensuring equity, diversity and inclusion in the scholarly and leadership environments of our students, staff, and faculty

Application deadline: Review of applications will begin March 15, 2025. Applications received before this date will receive full consideration. Only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
