Full-Time Positions

First Nations Studies or African Studies

Quest University Canada seeks applicants for a full-time faculty position who can teach courses in First Nations or African Studies. The successful candidate will also teach social science courses in our Foundation Program, especially Global Perspectives and Democracy and Justice, which are required of all students. All Quest faculty are expected to be able to teach the Cornerstone and Question courses, and candidates who demonstrate the willingness and experience to teach Rhetoric will be given special consideration. We will consider candidates from Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, Psychology, Geography and History, as well as candidates who have completed social science degrees in First Nations or African Studies. The ability and willingness to develop field-based courses is also highly desirable.

All Quest classes are seminar-style and are limited to enrolments of fewer than 20 students. Our faculty are highly interactive and attuned to opportunities to develop interdisciplinary courses. Further details about Quest and the application procedure can be found underInformation for Faculty Applicants. Applications should be sent to ssfaculty@questu.ca.

A PhD (or equivalent) and some teaching experience is required. Although research, especially that involving undergraduates, is encouraged, those seeking a research-focused faculty position should not apply. Applications should be received by October 20, 2011; interviews for finalists will be scheduled in November and December. The start date for the position will be August 1, 2012.
