Calgary, Canada Academica Group Full time

Founded in 1910 and located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Mount Royal University grew into a vibrant college in the 1930s and became a mid-sized university in 2009. Today, Mount Royal offers 14 bachelor degrees and 38 majors, along with a wide range of diploma and certificate options. It boasts a diverse community with nearly 16,000 credit students, more than 5,500 non-credit students and about 1,700 employees.

As a student-focused undergraduate university built on teaching excellence, Mount Royal is known for its top-calibre programs, high-quality teaching and learning experience, robust delivery of liberal education, scholarly teaching, experiential learning and undergraduate research. Grounded in community, Mount Royal is a place where faculty, staff and alumni can know each other by name — and where everyone is welcome.

Mount Royal is committed to removing barriers and fostering the inclusion of voices that have been historically underrepresented or discouraged in our society. In accordance with Section 11 of the Alberta Human Rights Act, this opportunity is limited to First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. Candidates will be required to provide verifiable evidence of their Indigenous Identity in the form of a letter of introduction.

About the Role

To advance our efforts towards Indigenization in the Faculty of Science and Technology, we invite applicants for a tenure-track faculty position (Assistant Professor) in Indigenous Science. The successful candidate will be hired into the Department of Biology, the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, or they may be cross-appointed between both departments. Individuals who hold a tenured academic appointment at another postsecondary institution will be considered for appointment as an Associate Professor. This position will start July 1, 2025, subject to final budgetary approval.

As an undergraduate focused institution, we prioritize excellent teaching. The successful applicant must be qualified to teach undergraduate (introductory and senior) courses in their discipline. Other teaching opportunities could include existing courses that incorporate Indigenous Ways of Knowing. We are seeking candidates with experience or interest in integrating Indigenous science methodologies and perspectives into the curriculum.

Qualifications
  • A minimum M.Sc. in any discipline within Biology or Earth and Environmental Sciences; a Ph.D. is an asset. Candidates who are near completion of their Ph.D. will be considered.
  • Teaching experience, broadly defined.
  • A commitment to excellent undergraduate education including the potential to develop and teach new courses.
  • Potential to develop and maintain a scholarship program.
  • An ability to support the inclusion of Indigenous epistemologies, sciences, pedagogies, and decolonization practices in teaching and learning.

Career interruptions due to parental leave, family care, extended illness, or community responsibilities will not negatively impact the assessment of a candidate’s academic productivity. We encourage applicants to explain in their application any interruptions that have affected their career progression.

What We Offer

At Mount Royal University, we recognize that people are a combination of many intersecting identities; we work to cultivate an environment that welcomes the whole person and harnesses the strength that is available in our diversity, creating a rich and inclusive workplace.

Investing in the learning and development of our employees benefits the individual and the University. A variety of services, resources and programs encourage a healthy, productive workplace. Mount Royal University offers a competitive total compensation package including health and dental benefits, pension, health and personal spending accounts, paid vacation, winter holiday closure, personal days and a free membership in our fully equipped recreation centre.

Closing Date: Open until suitable candidate is found
