[Madhav Badami, Prof.]

Greetings all,

I should like to draw your attention to the following academic position at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

Madhav Badami

McGill UNIVERSITY
School of Urban Planning

Full-time, tenure-track position in Urban Transportation Planning

The School Urban Planning of McGill University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, to begin in September 2006.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Urban Planning or City & Regional Planning (or be in a position to earn the degree by the time they join the School) and show excellence or great promise in teaching and research. Though the position is initially targeted at junior faculty, exceptional candidates at the level of Associate or Full Professor will be considered as well. 

Situated in the heart of bilingual Montreal, McGill University is an international university whose primary language of instruction is English.  McGill University contributes to, and benefits from, Montreal’s stimulating and cosmopolitan urban environment. The School of Urban Planning is part of the University's Faculty of Engineering and offers an accredited professional program in a teaching and research environment well-known for its academic excellence and collegiality.  It houses a new Urban Systems Laboratory where professors and graduate students do research and modelling work.  Further information about the School can be found at www.mcgill.ca/urbanplanning.

The ideal candidate will have expertise in urban transportation planning and policy, the link between land development and transport, transportation demand modelling and the use of quantitative methods of analysis and GIS.  An ability to work in an inter-disciplinary environment and a desire to obtain professional accreditation are important as well.  

The successful candidate will teach at the graduate and undergraduate levels, with an average teaching load of three courses per year.  He or she will be expected to develop an externally-funded research portfolio and to attract and supervise graduate students.  A commitment to service to the academic, professional and local communities is also expected.  For that purpose, knowledge of French, or a strong willingness to learn the language rapidly, will be essential.  Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Candidates should submit their curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching and research interests, and the names of at least three references to:

Search Committee, Transportation Planning
