Canisius College invites applications for a full time, tenure track position in its Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation department beginning Fall-2014. The ideal candidate will bring expertise in one or more of the following disciplines: Conservation Education, Conservation Psychology, Conservation Behavior, and/or Human-Wildlife Conflict. The position will involve offering introductory and upper-level courses in our undergraduate Animal Behavior program, and in our online Anthrozoology Masters of Science program. We seek an individual committed to excellence in teaching, mentoring students, and the conduct of productive scholarship. Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent degree.
Our undergraduate and graduate programs combine the rigorous scientific study of animals with a values-focused curriculum in the liberal arts tradition. They produce graduates who are not only experts in the science of animal behavior and anthrozoology, but also strongly grounded in the ethical and moral considerations in these disciplines. We serve students who want to understand the facts and theoretical underpinnings of science, but who also want to use that understanding to promote animal welfare and wildlife conservation.
To apply please submit a letter of application, statement of teaching philosophy, research plan, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references as a single PDF document to: Michael Noonan, PhD, Chair of Animal Behavior, Ecology and Conservation at hr.rec...@canisius.edu, by February 28, 2014.
