Waterloo, Canada University of Waterloo Full time

Overview:
**Term: 2 Years**

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that we live and work on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron, the Anishinaabeg, and the Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community-building, and is coordinated within our Office of Indigenous Relations. Fundamental to our work is not just an acknowledgement of the land we occupy, but also a commitment to active decolonization and relationship-building on our campuses.

In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, the University of Waterloo acknowledges the historical and contemporary challenges Indigenous communities face with academic research, and the ongoing legacies of colonialism across the research enterprise. We are committed to advancing reconciliation and decolonization by shifting our focus to supporting research with, by, and for Indigenous communities in ways which emphasize reciprocity, relevance, responsibility, respect, and are grounded in relationship-building.

As part of its Impact Theme on Strengthening Sustainable and Diverse Communities, the University of Waterloo is committed to promoting and supporting Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigenous Relations and a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusivity for all. Improving the representation, participation, and engagement of equity-deserving groups within our community is a key objective of Waterloo’s Strategic Plan 2020-2025. The selection process for this position will follow the provisions for a special program as described by the Ontario Human Rights Commission in order to address the underrepresentation of Indigenous peoples and to increase specialized support for Indigenous faculty and staff within the research ecosystem.
