Description
The candidate will develop, with Ryerson University, the CRC nomination package for the April 2020 deadline. Upon a successful nomination to the CRC program, the candidate will be appointed to a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, effective January 1, 2021, subject to final budgetary approval.
We are seeking an outstanding emerging scholar to join our dynamic, community-focused research environment in the Faculty of Arts and across campus. As a future leader in Indigenous Digital Humanities, the CRC will engage with the ethical and respectful protection of Indigenous knowledges, asking who is telling the story, to whom, for what purpose, and with what authority, while also aiming to tell new stories, in innovative ways, for diverse audiences. The CRC in Indigenous Digital Humanities will contribute to leadership in the ongoing work of truth and decolonization in the context of Indigenous and settler relations, who are bound to learn from each other as they share the land and the stories of the lives lived upon it. The CRC will have demonstrated expertise in digital humanities, interrogating the values and ideologies that inform the creation of digital tools and the use of digital technologies, while creating innovative pathways to transformative Indigenous futures.
Education RequirementsQualifications include:
• PhD in humanities, with expertise in the theories and practices of Indigenous Digital Humanities
• Commitment to upholding values and practices of equity/diversity/inclusion
• High quality teaching and student training; make learning accessible and inclusive to a diverse student population
• Strong emerging research profile that demonstrates creativity and evidence of impact
