The School for Resource and Environmental Studies (SRES) invites applications for an 11-month limited term appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor commencing August 1, 2014.
SRES provides a dynamic setting for creative interdisciplinary scholarship, and excels in delivering policy-relevant scholarly knowledge in its research, teaching, and community-service activities. Teaching at SRES is delivered principally in three degree programs: the Bachelor of Management, the Master of Resource and Environmental Management (MREM), and the Master of Environmental Studies (MES).
The successful candidate will be required to teach five half-credit courses, advise students in MREM internships and projects, as well as engage in School-level administrative work. We seek applicants with demonstrated teaching competence across a range of course offerings at the School. In particular, applicants must be able to teach a minimum of four of the following courses: MGMT 2702: Introduction to Resource and Environmental Management II; MGMT 3702: Sustainable Industries; ENVI 5500: Socio-Political Dimensions of Resource and Environmental Management; ENVI 5505: Biophysical Dimensions of Resource and Environmental Management; ENVI 5031: Economics for Resource and Environmental Management; and ENVI 5035: Research Design and Methods.

Applicants must have a completed PhD, enthusiasm and demonstrated potential to teach in diverse settings (large and small undergraduate classes as well as graduate classes) across the range of courses listed above. Ability and willingness to work with colleagues are required.
The School for Resource and Environmental Studies is part of the Faculty of Management, which has a unique commitment to values-based management and interdisciplinary research and learning.
