[Linganth] Indigenous and Black faculty cluster hires at the University of Waterloo (Ontario, Canada)

[Adrienne Lo]

Dear colleagues:

Please see below re 20 faculty lines (open rank, open field) at the
University of Waterloo.

Review of applicants will begin Oct 18, 2021, and will continue until all
positions are filled

The University of Waterloo has announced it will take a step in addressing
the systemic underrepresentation of Indigenous and Black faculty at our
institution with the launch of new cluster hiring initiatives that will see
the addition of 10 new Indigenous and 10 Black faculty members.

As restricted hiring opportunities, the cluster hiring initiatives follow
the provisions for a special program as described by the Ontario Human
Rights Commission. Waterloo’s current underrepresentation of Indigenous and
Black faculty allows us to take this action.

Recruitment for these new positions is open and will continue until all
positions are successfully filled. The positions are open at the assistant
professor/associate professor/professor levels, with the intention to
recruit faculty at a range of career stages. Positions will be available
for broad areas of research across all faculties. These cluster hiring
initiatives are in addition to other equity-based hiring initiatives and
are not meant to replace other opportunities. The fundamental purpose of
the cluster hiring initiatives is to increase representation of Black and
Indigenous faculty across the spectrum of Waterloo’s teaching and
scholarship activities; while there may be some natural synergies with the
current development of academic programming in the areas of Black Studies
and Indigenous Studies, the cluster initiatives are not intended to recruit
solely/primarily for these areas.
