Hi, This position (ad attached and below) at the University of Victoria may be of interest to some on these lists. The person who sent it to me, who is at U Vic in another unit, noted that “The radical and theory-informed political ecologists and political theory people at this unit are really good, and the university does some great stuff more generally on Indigeneity, environment, and resource extraction.” I think that's right, but (being on the other side of the continent) don’t really have any other inside info to offer. All the best,
Andrew Andrew Biro Professor, Dept of Politics Acadia University Wolfville, NS B4P 2R6 phone: 902-585-1925 email: andrew.b...@acadiau.ca<mailto:andrew.b...@acadiau.ca> twitter: @andrewbiro Acadia University is built on the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq Nation. We are all Treaty People. -- Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Political Ecology School of Environmental Studies, University of Victoria January 1, 2020 start date The School of Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria, located on the traditional territories of the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples, invites applications for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Political Ecology. The interdisciplinary field of Political Ecology critically investigates the social, political, economic and cultural dimensions of environmental challenges to develop solutions that are effective because they are responsive to not only technical and ecological but social and political realities. We encourage candidates who engage with critical and intersectional approaches (e.g., Indigenous, anti-racist, decolonial, feminist, queer). We also welcome candidates with commitments to public engagement and community-based research, research with Indigenous communities, and/or who are in conversation with the natural sciences. The School of Environmental Studies, http://web.uvic.ca/enweb/ is supported by three overlapping streams of scholarship: political ecology, ethnoecology, and ecological restoration. We are a relatively small group and depend on close cooperation, mutual respect and camaraderie for our flourishing. Candidates will be evaluated on the criteria that follow. The successful candidate will have a PhD; will be an emerging world-class researcher in the field of political ecology who demonstrates particular research creativity; will have a critical understanding of the complex environmental challenges involving the interaction of social and biophysical systems, and will be proposing an original, innovative research program of high quality with the potential to achieve international recognition. The successful candidate will offer evidence of high-quality teaching and supervision, including support to diversity and inclusiveness. Tier 2 CRC Chairs are one of Canada’s premier early career recognition and recruitment programs, and are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e., candidates must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination). However, applicants who are more than 10 years from having earned their highest degree (and where career breaks exist) may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 Chair assessed through the program’s Tier 2 justification process. For more information on the CRC program generally and on eligibility specifically, please consult the Canada Research Chairs website: http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/program-programme/nomination-mise_en_candidature-eng.aspx The successful applicant will be nominated by the University of Victoria for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair and, upon approval of the Chair by the CRC Secretariat, will then be offered a tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor at the University. The anticipated start date for this position is January 1, 2020. UVic is committed to upholding the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion in our living, learning and work environments. In pursuit of our values, we seek members who will work respectfully and constructively with differences and across levels of power. We actively encourage applications from members of groups experiencing barriers to equity. Read our full equity statement here: www.uvic.ca/equitystatement<http://www.uvic.ca/equitystatement>.
