[Jessica Theodor]

The University of Calgary has an opening for a tenure-track Instructor in
Invertebrate Biology, with primary teaching responsibility in a course in
invertebrate systematics and diversity.

The ad text is below and will appear in the CAUT Bulletin and University
Affairs:

The Department of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, at the
University of Calgary invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track,
Instructor in Invertebrate Biology. The primary activity for faculty
members in the Instructor-stream is in teaching and learning, especially in
undergraduate programs. Scholarship (pedagogical and discipline-specific)
and service are also expected, but form smaller components of the position.
We seek a broadly trained individual familiar with systematics who can
teach both lab-based and field-based courses to enrich our undergraduate
programs and complement existing strengths in animal physiology,
development, comparative anatomy and paleobiology. Preference will be given to
candidates with strengths in aquatic invertebrate biology.

The successful candidate will teach a range of invertebrate zoology
courses, including courses integrating invertebrate systematics, diversity,
function, behaviour and ecology. There will also be the possibility of
teaching advanced topics in invertebrate zoology at the senior
undergraduate level and supervising undergraduate research projects.
Responsibilities also include participation in pedagogical, course, and
program development.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Zoology. Post-doctoral experience will be
an asset. The successful candidate will have a strong record of teaching
experience and possess a broad knowledge and interest in biological
education pedagogy. Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to
teaching and learning as evidenced by established successes and use of
contemporary approaches to teaching, and a desire to support student
learning inside and outside of the classroom.

Application deadline is April 30, 2016. Short-listed candidates will be
contacted for an interview.

The University of Calgary believes that a respectful workplace, equal
opportunity and building a diverse workforce contribute to the richness of
the environment for teaching, learning and research, and provide faculty,
staff, students and the public with a university that reflects the society
it serves. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however
Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. In this
connection, at the time of your application, please answer the following
questions: Are you a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada?
(Yes/No)

How to apply: Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, statement of
teaching interests, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and the names and
contact information of three references to:

Dr. Robert Barclay, Head, Department of Biological Sciences University of
