Description:

The Department of Linguistics (Faculty of Arts) and of Department of
Integrated Studies in Education (Faculty of Education) invite applications for
a joint tenure-track appointment in Indigenous Language Linguistics and
Education at the Assistant Professor level, to begin August 1st, 2019. 

We invite candidates broadly interested in the areas of Indigenous language
linguistics and education working from a community-engagement model.
Supporting both departments’ growing contributions to Indigenous language
research and education, the successful candidate will bring expertise and
experience to one or more of the following areas: Indigenous language
description, documentation, and revitalization; 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 Integrated Studies in 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 for revitalizing and maintaining
Indigenous languages. 

The successful candidate who satisfies the eligibility conditions of the
Canada Research Chair (CRC) program may be supported by the University for
nomination to a Tier 2 Chair in Indigenous Language Linguistics and Education,
which provides protected time for research within a full-time academic
appointment. 

The candidate’s responsibilities will include teaching at the undergraduate
and graduate level, student supervision, and research in Indigenous languages.

Candidates should have or expect to have a PhD in linguistics, education,
Indigenous studies, or a related field.

Applications must be submitted online to the application link provided below.
