FIRST NATIONS UNIVERSITY OF CANADA
First Nations University of Canada seeks to have an ongoing transformative impact through education based on a foundation of Indigenous Knowledges. The University is situated on Treaty 4 Territory, the original lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Lakota, Nakoda, and homeland of the Métis Nation. The Regina campus is situated on the atim ka -mihkosit (Red Dog) Urban Reserve, Star Blanket Cree Nation and Treaty 4 Territory. Star Blanket is the first First Nation in Canada to create an urban reserve specifically dedicated to the advancement of education.
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. First Nations University is a federated college of the University of Regina, and its academic programs are accredited through that institution.
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. This includes fostering First Nations and Western knowledge traditions in a balanced, meaningful, and respectful way.
This forward-thinking and inspiring leader will oversee the functioning of all academic units, campuses, community-based programs, and instructional delivery systems, including the First Nations University of Canada’s Library, as well as the Offices of the Registrar and Student Success Services. 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. 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.

- Experience handling complex budgets, and the ability to navigate, facilitate, and manage growth and systemic change within their portfolio.
- Knowledge of Indigenous cultures, values and traditions, and a deep commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
- Excellent communications and interpersonal skills coupled with a transparent and collaborative leadership style.
- 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.
