The Department of Biology at Dalhousie University (http://biology.dal.ca) is accepting applications for two Industrial Research Chairs, a Senior and an Associate Chair, both to work in collaboration with AMIRIX-VEMCO (http://www.vemco.ca). The successful candidates will be expected to go through the proposal and peer review process run by NSERC (http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Professors-Professeurs/CFS-PCP/IRC- PCI_eng.asp).

A PhD is required for both positions. The successful candidate for the Senior Chair will be an internationally recognized, outstanding scientist with demonstrated success in research, graduate training and undergraduate teaching, as well as in service to the academic community. The successful candidate for the Associate Chair will be a scientist with demonstrated potential to become an internationally recognized and outstanding scientist. One of the appointments is for a FIELD-ORIENTED MARINE BIOLOGIST with expertise and interest in the use of acoustic tracking, telemetry and bio- logging approaches as a backbone for interdisciplinary studies linking organism condition, behaviour and other attributes with the environment. The other appointment is for a QUANTITATIVE ECOLOGIST with expertise and interest in advancing the analysis of electronic tracking data to assist in the understanding of marine animal movement patterns, behaviour, and distribution in conservation and resource management contexts.
