The Faculties of Forestry and Land & Food Systems are putting together a Search committee for an ethnically Black candidate for a jointly-appointed tenure-track Assistant Professor with an interest in Policy, in a broad sense. This will be the second hire of the three-person Black Faculty Cluster in Food, Forests, and (Bio)Fuels.

The committee consists of:

Janette Bulkan (Forestry) – Co-Chair

Carol McAusland (LFS) – Co-Chair

Matias Margulis (LFS)

Mahsa Jessri (LFS)

Terry Sunderland (Forestry)

Scott Renneckar (Forestry)

The Search Committee needs two graduate students to complete the Committee numbers – one each from Forestry and Land & Food Systems. These are volunteer positions.

Students who are supervised by one of the committee members listed above are not eligible.

This Faculty position will be joint between the Faculties of Forestry and Land and Food Systems as part of a cluster hire of three ethnically Black faculty in the areas of Food, Forests and Bio(Fuels). More information on the cluster can be found here: https://forestry.ubc.ca/news/black-faculty-cohort-in-food-forests-and-biofuels/.  The recruitment of ethnically Black faculty is taking place across UBC, fulfilling a high-level policy decision.

If you are a graduate student and would like to be a member of this Search Committee, as soon as possible please email Carol McAusland (LFS) carol.mcausland@ubc.ca or Janette Bulkan (Forestry) janette.bulkan@ubc.ca.

Search Committee will serve between August and December 2024.
