Assistant Professor in Plant Ecology

The Department of Biology, University of Saskatchewan, invites
applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor
level in the area of Plant Ecology, commencing July 1, 2006.
Preference will be given to candidates with a broad knowledge in
ecology of plant communities and plant taxonomy. The candidate will
develop a vigorous, quantitative research program focusing on
community and ecological processes at multiple scales for northern
ecosystems. Applicants should have relevant Ph.D. and post-doctoral
experience. The successful candidate will participate in the
undergraduate and graduate teaching programs of the Department, with
specific responsibility in botany and community ecology, including
experimental methods that employ multivariate statistics.

The Department has developed an internationally recognized area of
strength in wildlife, ecosystems, environment sciences, and plant
sciences. The candidate will join a group of faculty members
dedicated to research in environmental science, an area of strategic
importance identified in the University's Integrated Plan. We benefit
from strong collaborative links on campus with the Department of
Plant Sciences, the Toxicology Research Centre, Canadian Wildlife

Canadian Light Source Synchrotron.
