EOAS currently provides a number of important outdoor experiential learning opportunities for students, including those at the UBC Geological Field Station in the southern Okanagan, the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre on Vancouver Island, and through various field study sites in and around UBC and the Vancouver region. The candidate will be expected to develop a strong, externally funded and internationally-recognized research program, successfully supervise graduate students, and participate in departmental activities. EOAS is dedicated to practicing excellence in evidence-based teaching. A keen interest in innovative teaching methods is essential, along with demonstrated potential for teaching excellence within one of the undergraduate specializations in EOAS. An ability to contribute to teaching in existing field courses would be desirable. Research and teaching interests in EOAS, the top-ranked and largest Earth Sciences department in Canada, span the history of the Earth and the evolution of its structure from core to stratosphere ( http://www.eoas.ubc.ca/ ). We seek candidates who have the capacity and interest to interact with other teaching and learning clusters both within and outside the department, and demonstrate the potential to forge links with other national and international Science Education research groups. Candidates should possess a strong record of research productivity in Earth Science Education commensurate with their experience.
