About the position
Tenure-Track Position in Animal Physiology
The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta invites applications for a tenure-track position in the area of Animal Physiology. We are primarily seeking an emerging scholar to hire at the Assistant Professor level, with strong potential to develop a productive research program. We especially welcome researchers who seek to develop a focus on Arctic or Northern Biology.
We are keen to attract a colleague who can integrate across existing areas of Departmental research and teaching expertise. Applicants must hold a PhD in Biological Sciences or a related field and have a demonstrated track record of impactful research in Animal Physiology. The proposed research program should not depend solely on laboratory-based vertebrate research, and instead should have strong potential to build world-class productivity through the study of wildlife and/or invertebrate physiology. The successful candidate will develop an independent, original, and externally funded research program.
The candidate will be expected to supervise both graduate and undergraduate students and contribute to a vibrant Department through teaching undergraduate and graduate courses. Importantly, the candidate will demonstrate a commitment to the principles of Access, Community and Belonging (ACB), in all aspects of their research, teaching and service.
Strong potential for productive interactions with other researchers across the diverse research areas of the Department, and in other disciplines at the University of Alberta, will be considered an asset. Strengths of the Department include Northern biology, toxicology, aquatic biology, neurobiology, AI/ML, data synthesis and open science, ecology, model organisms, multi-omics, Museum of Zoology and Strickland entomology collections, and access to field stations including the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre and the Canadian High Arctic Research Station.
The anticipated start date for this position is July 1, 2027.
