"Assistant or Associate Professor and NSERC Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Ecohydrology"

The University of Guelph invites applications for a tenure-track NSERC Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Ecohydrology. Nominees for Tier 2 Chair positions must be emerging scholars, at a minimum assistant or associate professors, or possess the necessary qualifications. Tier 2 Chairs are tenable for five years and renewable once, for exceptional emerging scholars active in their field for fewer than 10 years at nomination.

The successful candidate will hold a PhD in Hydrology, Ecosystem Science, or a related discipline, with potential for international recognition in ecohydrology and strong leadership potential. Applicants more than 10 years from their highest degree may have eligibility assessed via the Tier 2 justification process. For more information, contact Ailsa Kay at ailsakay@uoguelph.ca or visit the Canada Research Chairs website.

Candidates must demonstrate research creativity, potential for international recognition, ability to attract and retain trainees, and propose an innovative research program.

The position requires developing a federally and provincially funded research program, mentoring students, teaching ecohydrology courses, and collaborating with colleagues in SES and other partners. Faculty provide service to the University and community. SES is a multidisciplinary unit with advanced facilities and research links.

The University is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion, supporting the CRC program’s EDI goals. Salary is negotiable, with additional funding for the Chair.
