Vertebrate Ecology faculty position / New Zealand (fwd)
Cynthia Suchman
LECTURER/SENIOR LECTURER IN ZOOLOGY
University of Canterbury, Christchurch New Zealand
Terrestrial Vertebrate Ecology
Applications are invited from terrestrial vertebrate ecologists with
research interests in birds and/or mammals for a tenured position in
the Zoology Department. Post-doctoral experience is preferred and
applicants with records of substantial published research may be
considered for a senior-lectureship (comparable to an associate-
professorship in North America). Preference is likely to be given to
a field ecologist with strengths in biometrics.
The Department of Zoology has teaching and research programmes in a
diverse range of biological disciplines, and has established strengths
in ecology, behaviour, molecular genetics and physiology. Field
stations in coastal and mountain localities provide outstanding
opportunities for field-based teaching and research. Staff of the
department collaborate with members of the Department of Plant and
Microbial Sciences in teaching some ecological courses and contribute
to degrees in Environmental Science. The appointee can expect to
contribute to courses in vertebrate biology, terrestrial ecology, and
general zoology at the undergraduate level, and to teach a post-
graduate course in their area of specialization. He or she will
be required to develop an active programme of research and to
supervise post-graduate students.
The salary for lecturers is on a scale from $42,000 to $52,000 per
annum, and for senior lecturers $55,000-$70,000 with a bar at $63,000.
Applications should quote Position No. ZO4 and include a full CV with
names of three referees. Academic enquiries may be directed to the
Head of Department, Professor M.J. Winterbourn, FAX +64 (3) 364 2024,
or email: ve...@zool.canterbury.ac.nz. Applications close 30/9/96.
