2 weeks ago

Brantford, Canada Wilfrid Laurier University Full time

**Date**:Mar 5, 2024

**Location**: Brantford, CA

**Company**:Wilfrid Laurier University

**Faculty/Academic Area**: Faculty of Social Work

**Department**: BSW Program

**Campus**: Brantford

**Employee Group**: WLUFA

**Requisition ID**:7396

**Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work**

**Tenure-Track First Nations, Métis, or Inuit Assistant or Associate Professor**

Laurier’s campuses and locations, including the FSW, are on the Haldimand Tract, within the traditional territories of the Neutral, Anishnaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. A short 2.5-hour drive of 18 First Nations communities, including the Six Nations of the Grand River — the most populous First Nation in Canada — and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Brantford and Kitchener-Waterloo both have large urban Indigenous populations. There are 12 Métis councils within a 3-hour radius. Laurier and the FSW recognize the unique heritages of Indigenous peoples and support their right to preserve and express their distinctive Indigenous cultures, histories, and knowledge through academic programming, research, and co-curricular activities. Laurier honours Indigenous knowledge through diverse ongoing initiatives, programs, funding events, and positions, including the university’s Indigenous Student Centres, the Centre for Indigegogy, the Indigenous Knowledge Fund, and Indigenous Education Week. Laurier welcomes a regular stream of Visiting Elders and has an Indigenous Curriculum Specialist, not to mention a growing number of Indigenous faculty, students, and staff.

**Faculty of Social Work**

The FSW offers professional social work programs at the bachelor’s and master’s levels, and a research-focused doctoral program. We are devoted to excellence in research, creative and critical thinking, and reflexive practice. Our students learn through traditional and innovative teaching strategies. The Indigenous Field of Study (IFS) in the MSW program embraces Indigenous-based learning. This faculty position is located outside of the IFS; however, our new colleague might have the opportunity to connect with the IFS team and the Centre for Indigegogy. During the 2018-19 academic year, we piloted the Indigenized offering of our PhD in Social Work program, designed for FNMI learners, and a second offering was implemented in 2022-23. We encourage students at all levels to become active citizens of an increasingly complex and interconnected world. We fulfill our mission by advancing multi-disciplinary and marginalized forms of knowledge. Our graduates are committed to constructively engaging and working toward transforming oppressive conditions and structures, and promoting the well-being of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.

**The Position**

This position is located on the Brantford campus in the BSW program. The Brantford Campus is interwoven into Brantford’s downtown core with more than 3000 undergraduate and graduate students, over 80 full-time faculty, and 18 different programs across four different faculties. Neighbouring Laurier's Brantford campus are the Woodland Cultural Centre and Six Nations Polytechnic. The City of Brantford is approximately a one-hour drive along the QEW and Hwy. 403 from Toronto and the Niagara region and boasts a healthy arts and culture scene, world-class trails system for walking and biking, and a strong slate of festivals and events.

**Qualifications**

The successful applicant must be Indigenous (FNMI) and will (1) hold at least one social work practice degree (BSW or MSW), and a PhD*, completed or near completion, (2) have professional, employment-based social work experience, (3) have an active and/or promising program of research, with a record of publication and knowledge dissemination/ translation consistent with career stage and goals, and (4) have teaching experience in social work, in particular campus-based classes, though experience teaching online is an asset. ‘

**How to Apply**
- a curriculum vitae;
- a statement on teaching philosophy, and any evidence of teaching effectiveness (such as course syllabus/description, a peer teaching review and student/participant feedback).
- two sample publications, scholarly outputs, or writing samples;

As you consider applying, we would like to bring the following to your attention.
- Yes, I am a current citizen or permanent resident of Canada;
- No, I am not a current citizen or permanent resident of Canada.
