undergraduate and graduate levels. Ryerson offers an M.A.Sc. program and
a new PhD program in Environmental Applied Science and Management, and
an M.Sc. program in Molecular Science. New faculty members will have the
opportunity to supervise students in these graduate programs.
The Department invites applications for two tenure-track positions in
Biology at the Assistant Professor level, subject to funding availability.
Outstanding candidates may be appointed at the Associate Professor level.

cell culture system or a non-vertebrate eukaryotic model organism to
address key questions in these fields.
The successful applicants will complement a Department with strengths
in Environmental Biology, Microbial Ecology, and Molecular Biology. Model
research organisms in the Department currently include invertebrate animals,
algae, plants (Brassica, corn, beans), eukaryotic animal cells lines,
prokaryotes, and viruses. New faculty members are expected to demonstrate
excellence in teaching and research, establish strong, independent, externally

in Manitoba. It does so by funding research, promoting knowledge transfer
and advising the Government of Manitoba on health research issues
and developments. Following a major review involving key stakeholders
in Manitoba's health science community, a Manitoba Health Research
Strategy was developed in 2006 that resulted in strengthening the
role of the Council in the support and coordination of health research
in the province and in the reform of its governance and management
processes. The Executive Director will provide strategic, creative
leadership at a time of growth and innovation. Reporting to the Council
through its Chair, the Executive Director is the senior administrative
officer of the Council and, subject to the plenary powers of the Council,
provides leadership, planning and management direction for the Council's
programs. The successful candidate will be an innovative leader and
