MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY OF NEWFOUNDLAND
OCEAN SCIENCES CENTRE
FACULTY POSITIONS IN MARINE SCIENCE
    The Ocean Sciences Centre (OSC) of Memorial University is  
building on its strengths in
cold-water marine biology and aquaculture, and invites applications  
for two tenure-track faculty
positions. The successful candidates will possess a Ph.D. and post- 
doctoral or equivalent
experience.
Position 1: Marine Ecology or Marine Biology. This appointment will  
be made at the
appropriate academic rank (assistant, associate or full professor).  
The successful
candidate will be expected to demonstrate excellence in undergraduate  
and graduate
teaching, and to possess a strong research record. While not  
essential, application of
aspects of the candidate’s research to general questions in  
aquaculture will be an asset.
Position 2: Marine Aquaculture. This appointment will be at the  
assistant or associate
professor level. The successful candidate will develop a basic  
research program with
applications to marine aquaculture, and be expected to take a leading  
role in the
research activities of the OSC’s Aquaculture Research and Development  
Facility
(ARDF). Other responsibilities will include teaching in the M.Sc.  
aquaculture program,
and liaising with government agencies and the developing aquaculture  
industry (finfish
and bivalve).

    The OSC (http://www.osc.mun.ca/), which is located 10 km north of  
the university’s main
campus in St. John’s, has a primary research focus on cold-ocean  
processes and subarctic and
arctic organisms. The OSC has excellent laboratory, seawater and  
field services and is
recognized internationally for the quality and productivity of its  
cold-ocean research programs
in marine biology and ecology, aquaculture, marine animal physiology  
and biochemistry,
chemical, biological and fisheries oceanography. The mandate of the  
OSC is to conduct and
promote research into the marine environment, primarily through the  
teaching and supervision
of graduate students (Ph.D. and M.Sc.) and post-doctoral fellows. At  
present, the OSC has a
core faculty of 12 and a staff of 30. In addition, 60 graduate  
students and 8 Post-doctoral
fellows and Research Associates are presently conducting research at  
the OSC.
    Memorial University is the largest university in Atlantic  
Canada.  As the province’s only
university, Memorial plays an integral role in the education and  
cultural life of Newfoundland
and Labrador. Offering diverse undergraduate and graduate programs to
