We seek a critically engaged racialized and/or Indigenous scholar who will enhance SJCS’ community-engaged teaching and research. We particularly encourage applications from Mi’kmaw scholars grounded in a Mi’kmaw worldview and community, African Nova Scotian scholars doing Afri-centric, anti-racist work grounded in community, and racialized scholars doing critical, transnational, community-engaged work. The successful candidate will clearly demonstrate strong skills and/or experience with anti-racist / anti-colonial / decolonizing research and work with communities as outlined above, and an ability to teach the Department’s 2nd year Community Organizing and 4th year Transnational Community Organizing courses (SJCS 2100 & 4739), and add to SJCS in pressing areas of community (and student) concern. The Department of SJCS is committed to equity and diversity as essential to academic excellence and this is a targeted search for candidates as outlined above, with relevant demonstrated lived experience and expertise.
