Position Grade: 7
# of openings: 1

Who We Are
The Department of Indigenous Studies is committed to providing a progressive, comprehensive learning experience rooted in both traditional and contemporary Indigenous logic, practice, and theory. As a community of learners, the Department connects academic rigor and Indigenous perspectives through activist research, creative production, and community engagement.
About the Role
The Secretary provides senior-level, confidential secretarial and administrative support to the Chair of Indigenous Studies, the supervisor, Department committees, and Department faculty. The position responds to requests for information and handles routine and general problems. This role acts as recording secretary for departmental and ad-hoc committees and meetings and provides support in the administration of various faculty-related budgets, funds, grants, and special purpose budgets. The Secretary assists with faculty appointments, renewals, tenure and promotion, leaves and salary review tasks and processes as well as providing general office coverage and office reception services.
In accordance with Section 42 of the BC Human Rights Code, this opportunity is limited to applicants who self-identify as Indigenous or have Indigenous ancestry. Candidates are invited to submit a self-identification narrative/story of their Indigenous lived experience and a letter of support from Indigenous community to be considered for this position. We understand and acknowledge the deleterious effects of colonial and ongoing systems and structures such as residential schools, the 60s scoop and “status” cards on Indigenous (First Nation, Inuit or Métis) identity. This process is therefore intended to be interpreted in a broad understanding of Indigenous lived experiences and Indigenous community. Support letters for example, include letters from urban-based organizations, respected community elders outside place-based family/Nations for those in the process of reclaiming place-based connections and similar expressions of support. We acknowledge the potential emotional labour and/or (re)traumatizing impacts of sharing personal narratives in this context and encourage applicants to consider this fully in their decision-making to apply.
