With campuses in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert, First Nations University of Canada provides an opportunity for students of all nations to learn in an environment of First Nations cultures and values. The University continues to uphold its mission of enhancing the quality of life, and to preserve, protect and interpret the history, language, culture, and artistic heritage of First Nations people. The University is a unique place of learning specializing in Indigenous knowledges and providing post-secondary education for Indigenous and non-Indigenous students alike within a culturally supportive environment.

The University also offers graduate programs such as Master of Indigenous Social Work, Master of Arts with specialization in Indigenous Languages/ Linguistics, and a Master of Indigenous Education.
Reporting to the President, and as a member of the University’s executive team, the Vice-President Academic provides leadership for the academic mission of the institution with a view to ensuring student success and academic excellence within a culturally inclusive First Nations environment. The Vice-President Academic plays a leading role in the development and implementation of the strategic direction for the University as well as maintaining, developing, and enhancing the quality of education at First Nations University of Canada.

As a strong collaborator, the Vice-President Academic works in close consultation with the President, Associate Vice President Academic, Directors, Academic Heads, Coordinators and Librarians, and with academic leaders at the University of Regina and other partner institutions.
The Vice-President Academic will play a leading role in the financial management and resource allocation of the institution, while ensuring balanced participation by faculty in teaching, research, and service areas, including service to Indigenous communities. As a motivating and dynamic individual, the Vice-President Academic will lead an energetic and dedicated professional staff of more than 175 individuals and is responsible for an operating budget of $8.5 million.
The successful candidate will have a PhD or professional graduate degree, or comparable terminal degree, and ideally qualifications commensurate with an appointment with tenure at the rank of full professor, or at minimum the rank of Associate Professor.

It is essential that candidates have knowledge of Indigenous cultures, values and traditions, and a deep commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Candidates will also have excellent communications and interpersonal skills coupled with a transparent and collaborative leadership style. They must have a demonstrated history of working with Elders and Indigenous communities, with the ability to build partnerships with internal and external stakeholders, academic institutions, and governments.
