The Mathematics Department at the University of British Columbia is seeking to nominate at least one woman and/or Aboriginal candidate for an NSERC University Faculty Award in the Fall 2004 competition. A departmental nominee will have a strong research record in a field that fits in with the research interests of the Department, as well as strong teaching qualifications. A successful nominee would assume a tenure-track faculty position at the appropriate rank to begin July 1, 2005, with a reduced teaching load for the duration of the award. The University Faculty Award was created by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council to encourage Canadian universities to appoint very promising women and/or Aboriginal researchers to tenure-track positions in science and engineering.

Further information on the program can be found at the NSERC web page:

http://www.nserc.ca/sf_e.asp?nav=sfnav&lbi=c7

In accordance with the NSERC regulations for the awards, an applicant must be female and/or Aboriginal and must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. An applicant must either hold a doctorate degree, or have completed all the requirements for such a degree by the proposed appointment date. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply on-line as described at:

http://www.math.ubc.ca/Dept/jobs.htm#Apply

Alternatively, applicants may send a current CV including a list of publications, preprints, reprints, statement of research and teaching interests, and should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent directly to:
