University or Organization: McGill University 
Department: Linguistics and Education
Job Location: Montréal, Canada 
Web Address: https://www.mcgill.ca/linguistics/
Job Title: Indigenous Languages
Job Rank: Asst/Assoc Professor

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; General Linguistics; Language Documentation; Education; Language Pedagogy; Indigenous Languages of the Americas


Description:

We invite candidates with a primary specialization in Indigenous languages of
the Americas, with expertise in the areas of linguistics and education.
Supporting both departments’ growing contributions to Indigenous language
research and education, the successful candidate will bring expertise in one
or more of the following areas: Indigenous language preservation,
revitalization, and strengthening; research or documentation on the grammar or
acquisition of an Indigenous language; Indigenous language pedagogies and
curriculum design; and Indigenous language policy and planning. 

The ideal applicant will complement existing strengths and research interests
in both Linguistics and Education, will have lived experience in an Indigenous
language community, a strong record of community-engaged scholarship, and
evidence of a broader engagement with Indigenous methodologies, knowledge, and
research ethics. 

This hire is part of a larger McGill-wide initiative that prioritizes academic
recruitment of Indigenous peoples in the areas of Indigenous Studies and
Indigenous Education. Following the recent Provost’s Task Force on Indigenous
Education and Indigenous Studies, the hire will join a growing network of
faculty and staff that is committed to decolonizing methodologies and building
Indigenous research capacity by supporting the culturally-responsive
application of linguistics and education to Indigenous languages. 

Preference will be given to candidates of Indigenous identity in filling this
position. Included in this category are First Nations (status or non-status),
Inuit and Métis people, as well as Native Americans and Alaskan Natives from
the USA. Applications from candidates of Indigenous identity from Mexico and
Central America are also encouraged to apply.

To apply, please see the application link provided below.



Application Deadline: 01-Oct-2019 (Open until filled)
