Wilfrid Laurier University - In keeping with its ongoing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and to address the underrepresentation of Aboriginal faculty at the University, Wilfrid Laurier University invites applications from First Nations, Métis and Inuit candidates to fill a tenure-track faculty appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography & Environmental Studies (Waterloo campus) commencing July 1, 2016, subject to budgetary approval. The candidate will have expertise in environmental management and governance from a perspective that includes indigenous and western knowledge, approaches and methods. The candidate will teach existing courses on introductory environmental studies, environmental impact assessment, and natural resource management that employ a western approach, incorporate traditional ecological knowledge into such courses, and will be expected to develop new courses that apply indigenous knowledge, approaches, and methods to environmental management. Successful candidates will have strong links to Indigenous communities. It is expected that the successful candidate will develop or continue to develop a well-funded internationally recognized research program in their field and provide opportunities for graduate students.
