UFV's School of Land Use and Environmental Change (SLUEC) in the Faculty of Science invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Physical Geography with interest in ecohydrology, a UNESCO priority, and its connection to climate science. SLUEC seeks a scientist who uses knowledge of hydrological and biological processes at different scales to improve water security, enhance biodiversity, and support sustainable development by reducing ecological threats and maximizing watershed resilience. The successful applicant will join a thriving faculty who support programs in Human and Physical Geography, Environmental Studies, and Geographic Information Systems. The successful candidate will teach courses at all undergraduate levels such as The Physical Environment (GEOG 103), Climatology (GEOG 201), Living Within Our Watersheds (ENV 200), and Environmental Hydrology (GEOG 303). A redesign of River Geomorphology (GEOG 302) to fit the successful candidate's expertise is possible as is the development of new courses. Supervision of research students through fourth-year independent-study courses and research-assistant positions is expected. Experience in the use of Geographic Information Systems and modelling is an asset, as is the ability to apply environmental science to risk assessment and land-use planning in agricultural regions with rapidly growing urban centers.


SLUEC is seeking a collegial and energetic individual who has exceptional communication skills, demonstrated excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level, and capacity to develop experiential and applied research opportunities for students. Incorporating Indigenous perspectives in the curriculum is essential as is teaching international students and managing the needs of a diverse learning environment. Science communication and outreach to Fraser Valley communities along with the ability to teach across traditional disciplinary boundaries is required.

Short-listed applicants will have a strong record of research productivity commensurate with their experience, a demonstrated ability to establish a successful research program, and an ability to incorporate their research into applied learning opportunities for students. Attracting external funding to support research is highly desirable.

The successful applicant will actively participate in departmental activities, service, events, and initiatives. Commitment to an ongoing program of professional development is required.
