Position Information
**Position Title**
- Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Business at the Ocean Climate Nexus
**Posting Number**
- F684P
**Type of position**
- Tenure Stream
**Department/Unit**
- Faculty of Management - General
**Location**
- Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
**About the opportunity**
The successful applicant will be appointed in a tenure-stream position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in one of the eight departments in the Faculty based on disciplinary fit. The CRC will have the opportunity to collaborate with Canada’s Ocean Supercluster.
**The Chair will be a leading scholar in a business or management discipline who will bring forward-thinking approaches to the study of the ocean economy in the context of a changing climate.** This opportunity is open to a broad range of business disciplines. For example, the Chair might focus on one of the following areas: ocean technology entrepreneurship; the economic and social valuation of ocean-climate data; sustainable finance for climate adaptation; double-materiality; economic models of blue carbon credits; climate impacts on coastal, marine or eco-tourism; accountable, auditable carbon credit systems; decarbonized global supply chains; or persuasion & consumer behavior at the ocean-climate nexus, to name only a few.
The $40 billion ocean economy is an important contributor to Canada’s GDP. The Chair will have the opportunity to lead impactful research on the role of the ocean-climate nexus and associated socioeconomic opportunities and risks, including existing and new industries and entrepreneurial ventures, and their thoughtful adaptation of Canada’s ocean economy to a changing climate. Existing sectors of our ocean economy, such as tourism, marine transport, or fisheries, are especially vulnerable to increased instability and uncertainty caused by climate change. These challenges align with the UN Ocean Decade Vision 2030 Challenge 4 “develop a sustainable ocean economy”. **The disciplines of business and management are uniquely positioned to develop climate-conscious solutions that foster economic growth, jobs, and ocean health**.
Dalhousie University and the Faculty of Management are committed to the advancement of ocean and climate research. Dalhousie is home to the Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI), a transnational and interdisciplinary ocean research leader. The OFI houses the Transforming Climate Action (TCA) research program, a multinational investigation into the ocean’s role in climate change funded through the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. The Chair will work closely with the TCA network. Several Faculty of Management research teams participate in OFI and/or TCA relevant research. Current ocean-climate related research in our Faculty includes the following topics: (i) the impacts of climate change on coastal economies and the tourism industry (ii) the use of climate evidence in policy making; (iii) ocean data collection, analytics, and use; (iv) sustainable supply chains; and (v) double materiality and the benefits of disclosure.
Dalhousie recognizes that career paths can be diverse and that career interruptions may occur. Applicants are encouraged to include, in their cover letter, an explanation of the impact that any career interruptions may have had on their record of research achievement.
