First Nations Studies or African Studies

Quest University Canada seeks applicants for a full-time faculty
position who can teach courses in First Nations or African Studies. The
successful candidate will also teach social science courses in our
Foundation Program, especially Global Perspectives and Democracy and
Justice, which are required of all students. All Quest faculty are
expected to be able to teach the Cornerstone and Question courses, and
candidates who demonstrate the willingness and experience to teach
Rhetoric will be given special consideration.  We will consider
candidates from Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, Psychology,
Geography and History, as well as candidates who have completed social
science degrees in First Nations or African Studies.  The ability and
willingness to develop field-based courses is also highly desirable.

All Quest classes are seminar-style and are limited to enrolments of
fewer than 20 students. Our faculty are highly interactive and attuned
to opportunities to develop interdisciplinary courses. Further details
about Quest and the application procedure can be found under Information
for Faculty
Applicants<http://www.questu.ca/human_resources/faculty.php>.
Applications should be sent to
ssfaculty at questu.ca<mailto:ssfaculty at questu.ca>.

A PhD (or equivalent) and some teaching experience is required. Although
research, especially that involving undergraduates, is encouraged, those
seeking a research-focused faculty position should not apply.
Applications should be received by October 20, 2011; interviews for
finalists will be scheduled in November and December. The start date for
the position will be August 1, 2012.
