Description

The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) invites applications for a tenure-track position in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management at the rank of Assistant Professor, with a proposed starting date of July 1, 2024.

The Department is seeking a wildland fire scientist with broad interests in forest ecology and management. Relevant research expertise should include some combination of: fire weather and fuel moisture dynamics, forest fire behaviour and modelling, fire history, fire ecology, disturbance interactions, wildfire risk and hazard assessment, fire suppression, fuel reduction treatments, and Indigenous use of fire, particularly in boreal, sub-boreal, and montane environments.

We seek candidates who will develop a vigorous, externally funded long-term research program in one or more aspects of wildland fire science and fire ecology. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in wildland fire science, wildfire ecology, forest science, plant ecology, landscape ecology, ecological restoration, disturbance ecology, physical geography, environmental science, or with relevant experience in a closely allied field such as physics or engineering.

This position provides the opportunity to be part of an active network of wildfire researchers in British Columbia and throughout western North America. There are numerous opportunities for research funding, interactions with prescribed burning and fire suppression practitioners, and to respond to community outreach needs.

As an institution committed to the fostering of an inclusive and transformative learning environment, UNBC values high quality and growth in both teaching and scholarship. UNBC’s Dept of Ecosystem Science & Management oversees BSc. undergraduate degrees in: Biology; Conservation Science & Practice; Forest Ecology & Management; Wildlife & Fisheries, and a BA. degree in Nature-based Tourism Management. Faculty supervise graduate students (Masters and Doctoral) within the Natural Resources & Environmental Studies (NRES) Graduate Program. The program resides within the Faculty of Environment, alongside the Department of Geography, Earth & Environmental Sciences and the School of Planning & Sustainability. UNBC is well equipped with modern research facilities, three field research stations, including two research forests.

Students graduating with our degrees have diverse knowledge and experience in ecological, operational and social/cultural dimensions of professional forestry and other management-related careers. As such, candidates with relevant professional designations and/or with significant professional experience would be considered an asset.
