University of Prince Edward Island

Tenure Track Position - Department of Biology - Faculty of Science *Amended Closing Date*

Charlottetown

FULL TIME

September 4, 2024

The Department of Biology at the University of Prince Edward Island invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor with research interests in the scholarship of teaching and learning (So TL) in the life sciences and background knowledge in any biological discipline. The successful individual will teach introductory biology courses (BIO 1310 – Genes, Cells and Macromolecules; BIO 1320 – Organisms and their Environment), as well as elective(s) in their discipline. The new professor will also establish the foundation of an enduring and productive involvement in scholarly endeavours as defined in UPEI-Faculty Association collective agreement.
This appointment is expected to start on August 1, 2025 (negotiable) subject to final budgetary approval. The salary will be commensurate with credentials and experience. Full-time, permanent faculty members receive a comprehensive fringe benefit package including group life, accidental death and dismemberment, supplemental health, travel insurance, pension, and long-term disability insurance.
UPEI is a small, dynamic university with a strong commitment to teaching and research excellence. The Biology Department (http://www.upei.ca/programsandcourses/biology) consists of thirteen professors, seven technical staff, and is the largest department in the Faculty of Science with approximately 630 undergraduate students and 25 graduate students. Our graduate students and faculty research interests are in the broad areas of cancer and stem cell biology, watershed and coastal habitat ecology, ecology of change, animal habitat fragmentation, heart and stroke physiology, conservation physiology, aquatic toxicology, developmental plant biology, as well as population genetics and evolution, among others.
The University is located on Epekwitk, part of the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaw nation. The main campus is in the provincial capital of Charlottetown, a bustling tourist destination that boasts the amenities of a much larger city, including excellent theatre, galleries, music, and dining possibilities (https://www.charlottetown.ca/). A province-wide hiking and biking trail runs right along the UPEI campus, and the National Park beaches and world-famous golf courses are a short drive away (https://www.tourismpei.com/). Charlottetown and its surrounding communities offer charming and affordable housing options, and a semi-rural lifestyle.
Qualifications:

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in the biological sciences and should have relevant postdoctoral experience. Applicants must be committed to excellence in teaching, with prior university teaching experience considered a strong asset, and should demonstrate potential for developing a research program, demonstrated holistically in various ways such as by publications, intellectual and creative endeavours, and scholarly service. UPEI recognizes that there is significant overlap of teaching, scholarly endeavours and service.
Application Instructions:
Please submit the following material electronically in a single pdf file to lacroix@upei.ca: cover letter, curriculum vitae, a summary of the proposed research program, a statement of teaching philosophy and experience, a one-page statement on how the principles of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) will be implemented in research and teaching, and the names of three referees, including their affiliations and contact information, as well as professional relationship to you. Please quote the competition number in all email correspondence. All materials are to be received no later than the closing date.
