Assistant Professor

The University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) is located on Epekwitk, part of the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaw nation. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, which recognize Mi'kmaw title and establish the ongoing relationship between the Mi'kmaw nation and the Crown. We are all treaty people.

**Qualifications**:
Applicants for this position should have a demonstrated track record of (or possess the clear potential to excel in) research and teaching in any combination of the following areas: Indigenous histories, worldviews, social and/or physical sciences, determinants of health, governance and legal systems, cultural practices, language, arts, literature, entrepreneurship, and research. Successful applicants should be team-focused, working with and learning from multiple communities of interest, to strengthen the faculty and its developing program.
- The University is in the provincial capital of Charlottetown, a bustling tourist destination that boasts the amenities of a much larger city, including excellent theatre, galleries, music, and dining possibilities. A province-wide hiking and biking trail runs right along the UPEI campus, and the National Park beaches and world-famous golf courses are a short drive away. Charlottetown and its surrounding communities offer charming housing options, a low crime rate, and a semi-rural lifestyle that is second-to-none.
