  • a track record of working in one or more of the following areas: (i) aspects of landscape ecology relevant to species conservation; (ii) scaling theory and cross-scale analyses; (iii) spatial analyses such as species distribution modelling or conservation planning; (iv) 'big data' analyses using biodiversity data and remote sensing data; (v) design and implementation of landscape ecology field studies; (vi) advanced statistical methods for large, heterogeneous problems
  • a track record of attracting and supervising graduate students
  • demonstrated ability to develop the foundations for an externally funded, internationally recognized research program
  • experience in advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in the discipline
  • demonstrated potential for outstanding teaching contributions.
