Brock University seeks an outstanding scholar for a Tier II Canada Research Chair in SOCIAL JUSTICE. The purpose of this appointment is to enhance multidisciplinary research collaboration among centres and departments within the Faculty of Social Sciences with a focus on analyzing local, national, and global processes related to struggles for equality and recognition.
The successful candidate will be appointed to a centre or department in the Faculty of Social Sciences (Child and Youth Studies; Communications, Popular Culture and Film; Economics; Environment; Geography; Labour Studies; Political Science; Psychology; Sociology; Women’s Studies). The successful applicant may also participate in a range of the Faculty’s departmental and interdisciplinary (Popular Culture, Social Justice and Equity Studies) graduate programs.
The appointment will be at the Assistant or Associate Professor level and commence July 1, 2006. This is a permanent tenure-stream position. The appointment may be made on either a tenured or probationary basis. The position has research and teaching responsibilities, but carries a reduced teaching load as a reflection of expectations about research.
The successful candidate must have a demonstrated ability to attract SSHRC or similar research funds as well as clear potential to be a leader in the field of social justice, and a strong (emerging) national and international scholarly presence, and the potential for an excellent teaching and graduate supervision record. The position comes with additional funding through the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) for equipment. The hiring decision will be made on the basis of demonstrated research excellence, teaching ability, potential for leadership in research collaboration, and Faculty and University needs.
Located at the centre of Canada's beautiful Niagara Peninsula in Ontario, one hour from Toronto, Brock offers strong undergraduate, graduate and interdisciplinary degree programs that include co-op and other experiential learning opportunities to a student population of over 16,000. The Niagara region offers many cultural and recreational opportunities in a mixture of urban and rural settings.
Submit curriculum vitae, statement of research interests and plans, statement of teaching interests, and list of potential referees to: David Siegel, Dean, Faculty of Social Sciences, Brock University, 500 Glenridge Avenue, St. Catharines, Ontario L2S 3A1. Consideration of applications will begin on January 6, 2006, but the competition will remain open until a suitable candidate is identified.
