The Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) at the University of Manitoba invites applications for a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Canada Research Chair Tier 2 in the broad natural science fields of Arctic marine system science. This full-time, tenure track position, at the rank of assistant professor, will be located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
The successful candidate is expected to be a part of the various Arctic system science projects led by CEOS, including projects focused on freshwater-marine coupling with freshwater sources from glaciers and continental runoff; ocean acidification and carbon exchange processes; physical, biological, and chemical oceanography; Arctic-midlatitude teleconnections; and climate change. The candidate will also be expected to teach one undergraduate and one graduate course in their area of research.
Applicants must have a PhD and proven success in leading an independently organized and externally funded program in Arctic marine science.
