Job details
University of the Fraser ValleyThe Agriculture Department is accepting applications for an open-rank position in Agriculture with a focus on Animal Science. The incumbent will be responsible for teaching and research in disciplines including but not limited to breeding and genetics, animal husbandry, animal nutrition, animal health, and pasture management in animal production, emphasizing poultry production, monogastric nutrition, poultry selection, and other related topics.Located in the beautiful Fraser Valley just east of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is a fully accredited public university that enrolls approximately 15,000 students annually. UFV has campuses and locations in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, and Hope, and a growing presence in Chandigarh, India.UFV is large enough to offer variety, yet small class sizes allow you to get to know your instructors and learn in a hands-on environment. We provide over 100 programs, including three master?s degrees, 21 bachelor?s degrees with majors, minors, and extended minors in more than 35 subject areas, four graduate certificates, and more than a dozen trades and technology programs.On 85 acres at the Canada Education Park in Chilliwack, UFV has a LEED Gold-certified facility featuring a striking atrium, stunningly large classrooms, state-of-the-art science and computer labs, a fully equipped dental clinic, nursing stations, a library, a bookstore, a cafeteria, a black box theatre, a human performance lab that includes an EEG lab, environmental chamber, and teaching lab and an Indigenous Gathering Place. UFV?s Agriculture Centre of Excellence is located on the Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park. It features two polyethene greenhouses, a barn ?livestock area, milking area, poultry area, and swine area ? and a greenhouse with a multi-wall polycarbonate construction that provides a strong thermal rating and high energy efficiency. The height of the greenhouse allows it to retain the CO2 rather than venting it as excess heat. Located next door to the new UFV building at Canada Education Park in Chilliwack, BC, UFV's Trades and Technology Centre features shops and kitchens equipped with top-of-the-line equipment to support programs that provide hands-on, job-focused technology and skill training.The successful candidate will explore and perform research on animal production and advise farmers on best practices in sustainable and profitable livestock production. Additional responsibilities will include serving on appropriate departmental, faculty, and university committees, participating in outreach activities related to agriculture and agricultural education, and engaging with industry and community stakeholders.We are looking for applicants who share our passion for and commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching in a student-centred environment. Applicants must successfully integrate their scholarship into their teaching and have experience providing high-quality services to communities and industry (e.g., extension). We are also looking for individuals with skills and experience in livestock sectors.We are seeking a collegial, energetic, and innovative individual who has successful teaching experience at the undergraduate level and who communicates effectively with students; is firmly committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in and out of the classroom; can instruct across a range of the undergraduate courses offered by the department; and can contribute to the ongoing renewal of the Agriculture curriculum to keep pace with evolving sector practices and needs. A capacity to teach across traditional disciplinary boundaries (particularly in business) and to incorporate Indigenous viewpoints into the curriculum and department would be beneficial. Experience teaching international students is beneficial since UFV is dedicated to supporting and engaging international students.Experience with technology-suppor- LocationAbbotsford, BC
