| The University of Victoria (UVic) is seeking applications and nominations for the position of Executive Director of the Office of Equity and Human Rights. The ideal candidate will be an accomplished and strategic leader who brings deep knowledge, insight and commitment to equity, diversity and human rights along with a record of success in building and sustaining programs that advance these goals, ideally in a higher education or research environment.

The Executive Director of the Office of Equity and Human Rights (EQHR) leads the EQHR team and works with university leaders and members across campus to meet UVic’s mandate to create work and academic environments that affirm and support equal rights and opportunities, inclusiveness, diversity, and the dignity of all persons. This leadership is critical in supporting achievement of the Strategic Framework 2018-2023 objective to cultivate an extraordinary academic environment through embedding principles of equity, diversity and human rights across the university and to realize a campus free of racism, sexualized violence and all other forms of discrimination. A commitment to Indigenous faculty, staff and students is critical for success in the role. UVic is consistently ranked as one of Canada’s leading research universities, demonstrating extraordinary depth of excellence across a wide array of graduate and undergraduate programs. The University’s 27,000 students, faculty and staff contribute to and benefit from the UVic Edge -- the potent fusion of dynamic learning, and research with vital impact in an extraordinary academic environment.

Its vibrant Pacific Rim location inspires new ways of thinking and action in a community rich with Indigenous and international perspectives, while its size and culture nurture personal connections on campus and beyond. UVic is committed to upholding the values of equity, diversity and inclusion in our living, learning and work environments.
