In this appointment, you will be cross-appointed to kihêw waciston Indigenous Centre during the initial three years in the position, with potential for renewal.

MacEwan is seeking an individual with lived Indigenous experiences who is grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing. As MacEwan University’s Indigenous Centre, kihêw waciston offers personal, academic, financial, and cultural support for students and is open to everyone in the MacEwan community. You will work closely with kihêw waciston Indigenous Centre and have good relationships with Indigenous communities.

Initially, in addition to teaching a reduced course load in the Department of Biological Sciences for the duration of the cross-appointment, you will provide consultation and participate in developing an Indigenous-focused curriculum to align with institutional priorities, and foster community engagement. This will involve collaborating with the Associate Vice-President, Indigenous Initiatives and Engagement and kihêw waciston to plan and organize faculty educational opportunities and develop culturally sensitive programming, evaluations, and events. After this period, you will be assigned a standard faculty workload in your home department.

Within the Department of Biological Sciences, both during the cross-appointment and after, you will contribute to the Department’s pedagogical expertise by bringing your lived First Nations, Metis, or Inuit experience to the design and delivery of the undergraduate curriculum and the mentorship of students. You will pursue academic and/or community-based scholarly activity and will work collaboratively to contribute service to the University and the broader community.

You will develop new courses in your area of expertise, that explore the intersection of Indigenous ways of knowing with other scientific methods and processes. Preferably, you will have expertise in an area that contributes to the curriculum in Ecology and/or Environmental Sciences and the development of field courses focused on Land-based learning, however, applicants from all areas of expertise in Biological and Environmental Sciences will be considered. You will also have the option to collaborate with other faculty in the redesign of existing Biological Sciences courses to incorporate Indigenous perspectives.

**QUALIFICATIONS**:
You must have a Master’s or PhD in Biological or Environmental Sciences or a related field, and lived experience that complements your disciplinary knowledge. You will demonstrate a primary commitment to undergraduate teaching and plans for an ongoing scholarly program informed by both your disciplinary background and lived First Nations, Metis, or Inuit experience. Demonstrated knowledge of Indigenous communities, including their diverse backgrounds and culture, socio-economic issues, and educational needs, is strongly preferred. You will also demonstrate ethical engagement and collaboration with Indigenous communities.

You should submit a cover letter and curriculum vitae which demonstrate a highly developed knowledge and understanding of Indigenous cultures and contemporary issues with a proven ability to engage with Indigenous communities. You should also submit a teaching dossier (including recent teaching evaluations), a statement of research and schola
