About the job

Job summary

The Faculty of Forestry operates two Research Forests (https://forestry.ubc.ca/research/research-forests/) where scientists can establish projects requiring forested environments. These are working forests, where students and faculty from UBC and beyond study in an outdoor setting. Numerous freshwater ecological and conservation studies have occurred at these facilities.
The successful applicant will establish their laboratory in the Forest Sciences Centre
(https://forestry.ubc.ca/about/deans-message/forest-sciences-centre/) which houses three departments and provides access to outstanding resources and collaborators. This position complements existing strengths in our faculty in fish ecology, conservation decision-making and planning, wildlife ecology, Indigenous food systems, landscape and ecosystem ecology, and more broadly at UBC in fisheries, marine systems, and biodiversity science. Researchers in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences (https://fcs.forestry.ubc.ca/) often collaborate with federal and provincial agency personnel who have local laboratories and facilities, with ENGOs and not-for-profit organizations, and with numerous First Nation groups.
