Description:

The Department of Anthropology is seeking an Indigenous linguist who will help
build an interdisciplinary Indigenous languages focus at The University of
Winnipeg. We are seeking an individual with training in descriptive
linguistics and/or language documentation and who has experience developing
curriculum, programming, and research relevant to the revitalization of
Indigenous languages in Manitoba and neighbouring regions. The successful
applicant will be an effective teacher whose scholarship is grounded in
community-engaged practices and methodologies and who has a demonstrated
ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary environment. The
ability to speak an Indigenous language spoken in Manitoba or neighbouring
regions is an asset.

We are expecting to fill this tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant
Professor. Exceptional candidates may be considered at other ranks, in
accordance with the University of Winnipeg Faculty Association Collective
Agreement, and commensurate with qualifications and experience.  Candidates
are normally expected to have a Ph.D. in Linguistics, Anthropology, or a
related discipline. However, equivalencies as an Indigenous knowledge keeper
and/or through teaching and scholarly experience in academic or other relevant
(e.g. activist and community-based activities) settings, combined with formal
training in Linguistics, will be considered.

The successful candidate will teach core undergraduate courses in
Interdisciplinary Linguistics, and will develop new courses relevant to
Indigenous language learning, documentation, and revitalization. The
successful candidate will develop an innovative program of research that has
the potential for external research funding and dissemination through
publication or research-creation. The successful candidate will be expected to
make contributions through service to the department, the University, and the
broader community. 

The selection committee will begin reviewing applications on June 8, 2020 and
will continue until the position is filled; full consideration is assured for
applications received by Friday, June 5, 2020.  Subject to budgetary approval,
the position will commence September 1, 2020. Salary will be commensurate with
qualifications and experience.

Applicants are requested to submit a complete application that will include
(all documents in PDF):

- a cover letter – Indigenous candidates are invited to self-identify
- a curriculum vitae
- evidence of teaching effectiveness, including a teaching
statement, sample course outline, and teaching evaluations, if available
- a statement describing past scholarly work and future research plans
- a sample of scholarly work (publication or research-creation)
- any other materials that the candidate considers relevant to their
application
- Applicants must submit all of the above materials through The University of
Winnipeg’s online recruitment system, following the link provided below.

Candidates should also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent by
the referees directly to:

Dr. Shelley Tulloch, Chair
Department of Anthropology
