Please share news of this terrific opportunity widely. The University of Calgary is recruiting a tenure-stream research position in Indigenous Knowledges, Arts, and Practices as part of the University’s Transdisciplinary Research and Scholarship initiative. The successful candidate will be an artist or artist-scholar who can bring a research-creation approach centred in Indigenous Epistemologies. This tenure-track position will have significantly reduced teaching responsibilities and be supported with a generous research stipend in its first five years. The selection criteria are flexible and include recognition of community-based and professional experience and engagement and will privilege those who express an interest in engaging in a transdisciplinary approach with substantial societal and community engagement.
