Colleagues, The Department of Biological Sciences at Simon Fraser University invites applications, from Canadian and international researchers, for a full-time tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor for the Thelma Finlayson Chair in Biological Control. The very general position description is below, purposefully written to be broad, which may make it so you don't see yourself in it. But Biology at SFU includes significant research strength in evolutionary biology, and we would love to see applications from evolutionary biologists who study, for example, the evolution of invasiveness, the evolution of host/parasite interactions, the mechanisms of selection in new environments vs. the home range, etc. The focus on a practical question (pests and their control) as mandated in the endowment doesn't change the need for that larger conceptual foundation of the research our new colleague will do. To see the full ad, please go to the position posting: https://www.sfu.ca/biology/about/employment/faculty/faculty-thelma-finlayson-chair-repost.html For more on the research groups in the department, go to: https://www.sfu.ca/biology/research.html The Thelma Finlayson Chair in Biological Control We invite applications from outstanding, early-career scientists from a broad range of disciplines related to biological control or pest management, including but not limited to applied insect biology, plant-insect interactions, invasion biology, and plant or insect genetics, biotechnology, or genomics, in any forest, agricultural, horticultural, urban or natural ecosystem. The position would begin no earlier than September 2025. The successful candidate should have demonstrated research excellence through a strong publication record in internationally recognized, peer-reviewed journals and be a current or future leader in their field. The new hire will be expected to contribute to development and teaching of new or existing courses related to biological control and pest management, as well as other core undergraduate and graduate courses in BISC's program. We encourage applications from researchers who will contribute to the Department's efforts in supporting equity, diversity and inclusion.
