Candidate's bio
Dr. Jim Lee received his Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Queen’s University followed by his MA and PhD (geological and geophysical sciences) from Princeton. Jim joined the University of Saskatchewan as Executive Director, International from 2017 – 2020 and has been a professor in the Department of Geological Sciences since 2017. Jim started his faculty career at Queen’s University, where he was promoted to professor and subsequently served as associate dean in the Faculty of Arts and Science from 2006 to 2012; during this time, he was in charge of the research, international, and academic portfolios over the course of his tenure. This was followed by terms as Vice-Provost International at Queen’s University and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International) at Macquarie University, Australia. Jim was appointed a Fellow of Engineers Canada in 2009. As a specialist in geochronology (the age determination of rocks), his research and scholarship uses radioisotopic dating to solve fundamental earth-science problems in such diverse areas as the ancient assembly of supercontinents, the history and thermal evolution of the Earth’s crust, the timing of mountain-building processes, and mineral exploration. His research programme is international in scope, involving several collaborative projects spanning five continents.
