[Caglist] Canada Research Chair 1 in Social Dimensions of Clean Technology – Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia

Dear colleagues at IASNR and CAG,

It is extremely exciting to be recruiting for a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in the
Social Dimensions of Clean Technology to be located in my school, the School for Resource and Environmental Studies, at Dalhousie University in the lovely and livable town of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Excerpting from the ad, we describe this domain broadly, as
follows:

Achieving a decarbonized economy, and reversing other forms of environmental degradation while expanding opportunities for the growing
human community entails substantial individual, organizational, political, and social transitions. These transitions to cleaner technologies, practices, and livelihoods are frequently fraught and often resisted. The new Chairâ€™s research program will seek to
understand and/or address these challenges through innovative approaches … in the social and/or behavioural sciences.

This role is a designated position, open only to those self-identifying as racially visible persons or persons with a disability. Please help us get the word out to all the top-rate scholars you know
who work in this field, whether or not you believe they may self-identify (www.dal.ca/becounted/selfid).

The full job ad is pasted below my signature line and can be found online here: https://ift.tt/2PZKHte

The chair of the recruitment committee is my colleague Dr. Peter Tyedmers (peter.tyedmers@dal.ca) but I am also a member. Either of us would be very happy to receive your enquiries or ideas about how to ensure this
job ad lands in the right hands.

Warm regards,

Kate

CANADA RESEARCH CHAIR Tier 1 in Social Dimensions of Clean Technology

The School for Resource and Environmental Studies, Faculty of Management, Dalhousie University invites applications for a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Social Dimensions of Clean Technology from outstanding candidates
who self-identify in one or more of the following groups: racially visible persons or persons with a disability (see https://ift.tt/2dgCNVR for definitions of these groups). In accordance with the requirements established for Tier 1 CRCs (https://ift.tt/NGVzbk),
the successful candidate will be an outstanding and innovative researcher, who is recognized as an international leader in their field, with a superior record of research impact and a demonstrated ability to attract and supervise graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows.

Change is a difficult and complex human process. Achieving a decarbonized economy, and reversing other forms of environmental degradation while expanding opportunities for the growing human community entails substantial individual,
organizational, political, and social transitions. These transitions to cleaner technologies, practices, and livelihoods are frequently fraught and often resisted. The new Chairâ€™s research program will seek to understand and/or address these challenges through
innovative approaches. Consequently, the successful candidate will lead a dynamic, interdisciplinary research program that falls broadly within the social and/or behavioural sciences, and attracts excellent trainees, substantial external research funding,
and strong international partnerships. In addition to research leadership, the successful candidate will be expected to contribute commensurately to the teaching and service mandate of the university. A demonstrated commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
principles in scholarship, teaching or service would be considered an asset.

The successful candidate will find a supportive and dynamic intellectual setting for their scholarship at Dalhousie University. Dalhousie has integrated the United Nationsâ€™ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and 17 Sustainable
Development Goals into its recently released rearch strategy (2018-2023). That strategy identifies five signature research clusters for Dalhousie (https://ift.tt/2DpQ1zh), of which the new Chair will be expected to make
important contributions to â€œClean Technology, Energy and the Environmentâ€ and â€œCulture, Society and Community Developmentâ€. Institutionally, Dalhousie is a world leader in clean technology research and is home to the Clean Technology Research Institute (https://ift.tt/2Q3Dmc5).
The School for Resource and Environmental Studies and Faculty of Management boast a vibrant research community of scholars that are well poised to support the Chair via scholarship in social dimensions of landscape change, biophysical impacts of technologies,
industrial sustainability, consumer decision-making, green supply chains, community engagement and environmental justice.

The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in a discipline broadly related to their scholarship in social dimensions of clean technology and will be appointed at the rank of Associate Professor or higher, with tenure if qualifications
and experience warrant. Anticipated start date is July 1, 2020 or as negotiated.

All applications should be electronic and include: a cover letter, a detailed curriculum vitae, a brief (threepage maximum) detailed research plan and executive summary, at least five representative contributions from the
last five academically active years, the names of three references and a completed SelfIdentification Questionnaire, which is available at https://ift.tt/2dgCNVR. Dalhousie recognizes that career paths can be diverse and that career interruptions may
occur. Applicants are encouraged to include, in their cover letter, an explanation of the impact that any career interruptions may have had on their record of research achievement.
