**About the opportunity**
This opportunity is part of a cluster hiring initiative supported by the Dalhousie Diversity Faculty Award (DDFA) program. In keeping with the principles of employment equity, the DDFA program aims to correct historic underrepresentation. This initiative will support inclusive excellence by appointing five Black scholars to the university across multiple disciplines. Cluster hires promote interdisciplinary collaboration, while creating communities of support for scholars from underrepresented groups. These new scholars will find opportunities for scholarly contributions, collaboration, and support as Fellows of the newly established Black Studies Research Institute and will contribute to our emerging transdisciplinary program in Black and African Diaspora Studies (BAFD). To learn more about this initiative, see- **.**

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is one of the largest of Dalhousie’s thirteen Faculties, with approximately 120 tenure-stream faculty members. The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is comprised of 11 departments, 1 school, and 6 interdisciplinary programs, and houses 35 different areas of study. FASS faculty members are involved in many centres and Institutes including the MacEachen Institute for Public Policy and Governance, the Dallaire Institute for Children, Peace and Security, the Centre for the Study of Security and Development and the Jean Monnet European Union Centre of Excellence. FASS is closely connected with the University of King’s College (King’s). Established in 1789, King’s is Canada’s oldest chartered university, and King’s programs (excepting the Journalism program) operate under the auspices of FASS. Many King’s courses are cross-listed at Dalhousie and King’s operates on a shared campus with Dalhousie. Information about the Faculty of Arts and Social Science may be found here:

Dalhousie University is located in Nova Scotia, Canada (Mi’kma’ki) with four campuses in Halifax and Truro, and satellite locations in Yarmouth and Saint John, New Brunswick. As Atlantic Canada’s primary research-intensive university and a member of the U15 Group of Canadian Universities, our 13 academic Faculties expand understanding through teaching excellence and a drive for discovery that results in more than $214 million in research funding each year.
Each year, Dalhousie welcomes almost 21,000 students from more than 115 countries around the world. A diverse population of Black students call Dalhousie home, including those from African Nova Scotian, Black/African Canadian, and international communities. The United Nations recognized African Canadians as a distinct group and Dalhousie acknowledges African Nova Scotians as a distinct people who have shaped the province and the university for centuries. In 2018, Dalhousie launched the
**African Nova Scotian Strategy**, which was then further updated in 2021 through the work of the strategy’s working group, which includes Dalhousie’s Director of African Nova Scotian Community Engagement. The Strategy is aimed at ensuring sustainable initiatives that support African Nova Scotian students, staff, and faculty members.
Dalhousie has a strong history of introducing ground-breaking initiatives that have created many opportunities for Black students including the
**Indigenous Blacks & Mi’kmaq Initiative at the Schulich School of Law** and
**Promoting Leadership in Health for African Nova Scotians** program. The university has also developed strong ties to several organizations serving that community, for example to the African Canadian Services Branch of the Department of Education - the only such branch in Canada serving Black students in K-12, to the Delmore Buddy Daye Learning Institute and to the Afrocentric Math cohort at Auburn High school.
In 1970, Dalhousie established the
**Transition year Program (**
**TYP**
**)**, which provides opportunities for individuals who may face barriers to post-secondary education to prepare for all aspects of academic life and gain access to the university. Nearly two decades ago,
**Imhotep’s Legacy Academy** was established, an innovative university-community partnership designed to create pathways into STEM for students of African descent.
Dalhousie established the
**James R. Johnston (**
**JRJ**
**) Chair in Black Canadian Studies** in 1991 which was at the time, the only endowed Black Studies Chair at a Canadian university. The current Chair, Dr. OmiSoore Dryden, recently established the
**Black Studies Research Institute (**
**BSRI**
**)**, a pan-university institute centering transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research in Black studies. The BSRI will intersect clos
