Position Details

The Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lethbridge invites applications for prospective Sessional Lecturer employment opportunities. The Faculty offers courses in Art, Art History, Museum Studies, Drama, Music, Digital Audio Arts, New Media, and Cinema. We are seeking applications in all areas, at the 1000, 2000, and 3000-level of instruction, and will follow up with applicants directly in the event that an opportunity does become available. The target date for 2024-2025 applications is September 15, 2024, though late applications may also be considered. 

Also, Faculty of Fine Arts is seeking up to three sessional instructors to teach the following specific courses in Winter 2025:

Indigenous Art Studio (INDG 2350/ART 2350/INDG 3350/ART 3350) Scheduled Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:00-11:45 am This course provides a space for introductory and advanced learning in both traditional and contemporary forms of Indigenous creative and cultural practices, with a focus on the concepts, theory, and processes of contemporary Indigenous Art in Turtle Island (North America.) Students consider themes through active hands-on knowledge creation and meaning-making and engage in creative self-examination, reflecting on their relationships to culture, land, politics, colonial structures, and Indigeneity.

Landmarks (INDG 3355/ART 3355) Scheduled Mondays and Wednesdays, 9:00-11:45 am In this studio-based course, students independently apply conceptual, technical, and creative skills in the research and production of contemporary art projects in the areas of photo, video, drawing, sculpture, performance, installation, and interdisciplinary practices. Understanding that art practices are linked with academic explorations, students examine the contextualization of their work in relation to site specific past, presents, and futures. Artworks created in the course are usually exhibited in a final presentation. The course has typically taken place in partnership with Fort Whoop Up, with students creating works in response to the site.

Interdisciplinary Indigenous Creative Practices (FA 2850 B) Class times TBD In this special topics course, students will be introduced to an area of Indigenous Creative Practice. The topic or focus of the course will vary based on the instructor's expertise and interests. There are no pre-requisites for this course and students taking the course are from a range of programs.

Qualifications The successful candidate(s) will demonstrate their ability to teach the course(s) through a combination of education, training, and artistic experience. Candidates should demonstrate that their artistic practice is located within Indigenous worldviews, methodologies, epistemologies, and/or material practices and must demonstrate that they can teach and mentor students engaged in a range of art practices, with a range of levels of experience. Preferred candidates will demonstrate strong connections to Blackfoot culture, artistic practices, language, and/or community. To apply, candidates should submit a cover letter, including which course(s) they would like to be considered for, as well as a current CV, and the names of three references, via the submission directions below. The deadline for applications for any of these three courses is October 7, 2025.

Please submit your application to Dean of Fine Arts, Dr. Heather Davis-Fisch, by email to Sarah Hilliard at , and include in the subject line "Application for Sessional Instruction". Applications should include a curriculum vitae, previous teaching evaluations (if applicable), up to three (3) letters of reference, and a letter of application, indicating the desired area of instruction within the Faculty of Fine Arts.

All applicants are thanked in advance for their interest. Only those selected for interviews will be contacted.

Our University's Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. The University is located in traditional Blackfoot Confederacy territory. We honour the Blackfoot people and their traditional ways of knowing in caring for this land, as well as all Aboriginal peoples who have helped shape and continue to strengthen our University community. 

The Faculty of Fine Arts was gifted the Blackfoot name Piiksinaasin, Manifesting Beauty, by Dr. Leroy Little Bear, with the assistance of Elder Francis First Charger, in March 2024. Piiksinaasin, which means Manifesting Beauty, represents the Faculty of Fine Arts as a place where students create, explore and research, transforming the world around them through creative practice and critical thinking. The name reflects the Faculty's long-standing support of Indigenous arts and creative initiatives and exemplifies the work done to advance reconciliation and decolonization. Position Category Other
