supervision; a strong commitment to mentoring Aboriginal students and
community practitioners and teachers; and a history of success in ethical
engagement and respectful collaboration with Aboriginal communities,
organizations, and institutions. Experience in curriculum development for
and/or the teaching of endangered languages would be an asset, as would
expertise in computational methods for database analysis and archiving.

The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2013, or as soon as possible
thereafter, and is subject to final budgetary approval.  Review of
applications will begin February 19, 2013 and will continue until the position
