Description

One of Canada’s youngest and most ambitious universities, CBU recognizes its location on Cape Breton Island as part of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. CBU offers a comprehensive set of liberal arts, science, and professional programs and a unique commitment to community, economic development, aboriginal learning, and research into many aspects of environment and culture. Currently home to approximately 9000 students, CBU’s vision of higher education allows students to pursue diverse fields of study in programs with national reputations in final year student satisfaction, faculty-student interaction, and employability.

CBU delivers an authentic multicultural experience to all who become part of its academic community. Surrounded by pristine natural landscape, vibrant culture, and welcoming communities on Canada’s stunning east coast, CBU attracts students from more than 50 countries around the world. Our faculty bring passion to their teaching and research and we are known for our friendly and inclusive culture. Strong community involvement and a spirit of entrepreneurship enhance CBU's position in post-secondary education. 

The successful candidate will perform the duties outlined in Article 25.1.2 in the CBU Faculty Association Collective Agreement. Topics of focus shall include, but may not be limited to, first year Organism and Evolutionary Biology labs, second year Principles of Ecology labs, third year Aquatic Ecology labs, and third year Animal Behaviour labs.

Candidates shall, as a minimum requirement, possess a B.Sc. in Biology. An M.Sc. in Biology is preferred. Previous lab instructor experience at the post-secondary level considered an asset but not mandatory.

CBU teaches programs on campus, off campus in locations across and outside of Canada, and on-line. The university and its partners will therefore provide opportunities for faculty members to teach in different modes in different locations as part of their regular workload. While these opportunities may not be available equally for all faculty positions in all programs, a clear willingness to teach in different modes and locations will be noted as part of your application.

Qualified candidates should send a letter of application quoting the reference number, a complete dossier including curriculum vitae, copy of academic transcripts, a statement of teaching philosophy, evidence of teaching effectiveness, a diversity statement, a complete resume and if possible three current letters of reference.

The union affiliation of this position is with the Cape Breton University Faculty Association.
