Position description
The Department of Geography and Environment at Mount Allison University is a dynamic, undergraduate-focused department supporting degrees in Geography (BA), Environmental Studies (BA), and Environmental Science (BSc). It also plays a significant role in the University’s Aviation Program, which includes BSc and BA options, as well as programs in GIS and Geo-computing.

The successful candidate will contribute to both BA and BSc elements of the Department, including Aviation. The candidate will be specifically required to teach courses in Human Geography, Transportation Geography and Urban/Regional Planning. Expertise in quantitative and spatial methods is an asset. Applicants can learn more about the Department at: /current-students/department-geography-and-environment.
