Canada Research Chairs in Plant Biotechnology and Pathology
The Department of Biological Sciences seeks applications for two NSERC
Canada Research Chair positions in Plant Biotechnology and Plant Pathology
effective July 1, 2001. One appointment will be at the Tier I level and one at
the Tier II level. These appointments will support current endeavours in
Biotechnology and/or in Oenology and Viticulture. Applicants for the Plant
Biotechnology position should have broad experience in the use of molecular
genetic approaches to the understanding of plant biochemical, physiological or
developmental processes. Applicants for the Plant Pathology position should
have extensive experience in host-pathogen interactions. Expertise in
grapevine biology and/or photosynthesis would build on existing strengths at
Brock University and would be an asset. Tier I applicants are expected to be
leaders in their field, have a strong international research presence and
excellent teaching records including extensive experience in the supervision
of graduate and undergraduate research students. Tier II applicants should
have attained international recognition and show very strong research and
teaching potential. Both Tier I and Tier II positions come with significant
discretionary research funding, additional funding through the Canadian
Foundation for Innovation (CFI) for equipment, and reduced teaching loads.
For information on Canada Research Chairs, please see http://www.chairs.gc.ca.
In addition to standard facilities, specialized facilities available o the
successful applicant include research vineyards, a pilot plant winery, mass
spectrometers (FAB and Ion Trap HPLC with electrospray source),
high field time resolved EPR and picosecond time resolved fluorescence
spectrometers. Please submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of research
interests and plans, a statement of teaching ideas and a list of potential
referees to:
