Nanaimo, Canada Vancouver Island University Full time

**Canada Research Chair - Tier 2 - Indigenous Language Revitalization**:
This person will be an emerging world-class researcher with a demonstrated interest in issues relating to Indigenous language revitalization. VIU has exceptionally strong ties to local Indigenous communities and attracts a high number of Indigenous students to its three campuses.

This position provides an opportunity to build a research program that supports Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action 13-17 addressing language and culture. This work is supported by collaboration between VIU’s Office of Indigenous Education and Engagement and Faculties of Education and Arts & Humanities.

We would expect that this researcher would achieve a level of international recognition in the short term, attract excellent graduate students, collaborate with faculty on campus and other researchers off campus on joint research initiatives, and provide funding to VIU students through the sponsorship of major projects and theses.
