<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The University of Victoria’s Faculty of Human and Social Development (HSD) invites applications for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Indigenous-Settler Relations (ISR CRC). The University stands on the traditional
territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples, and the Songhees, Esquimalt, and WSÁNEĆ Peoples’ historical relationships with the land also continue to this day. Consistently ranked as one of Canada’s top comprehensive universities, we serve over 20,000 undergraduate
and graduate students across ten Faculties and Divisions. Our Faculty is home to the Schools of Child and Youth Care, Health Information Science, Public Administration, Public Health and Social Policy, Social Work, Nursing, and Indigenous Governance programs
with shared goals of quality professional programs, responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, and community engaged research.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="Default"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The quality of relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people holds significant implications for social justice, good governance, ecological integrity, and human health and well-being for all. Our faculty’s
Research Strategic Plan (2017-2022) and the University’s Indigenous Plan (2017-2022) both commit to strengthening existing relationships with local Indigenous peoples, enhancing relations with Indigenous communities internationally, and providing a welcoming,
respectful learning environment that values and learns from Indigenous ways of knowing and being. We seek an excellent, emerging world-class Indigenous scholar who will work closely with an Elder Co-Chair (ECC) to conduct an original, innovative program of
high quality collaborative research in Indigenous-Settler relations with multidisciplinary teams of academic, organizational and community partners at local, regional, national and international levels.
