Ontario Tech University (University of Ontario Institute of Technology), 
located in Oshawa, Ontario, is proud to encourage an interactive, 
information-sharing culture for our individual staff, and teams which 
enhance organizational effectiveness. Ontario Tech’s innovative 
programs, and technology-enriched learning environment create an 
atmosphere of academic excellence. Ontario Tech promotes social 
engagement, fosters critical thinking, and integrates outcomes-based 
learning experiences inside and outside the classroom. We invite you to 
consider joining Ontario Tech's globally trained faculty as we further 
our reputation for providing a leading-edge learning environment and 
delivering innovative research.

Ontario Tech University is situated on the Traditional Territory of the 
Michi Saagiig, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation which 
includes Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi and acknowledges the lands and 
people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation as we work 
towards reconciliation and Indigenization. The Faculty of Social Science 
and Humanities (FSSH) is seeking an Indigenous scholar for a full-time 
tenure-track appointment at the level of Assistant Professor. To address 
the underrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in academia, this 
opportunity is open only to individuals who self-identify as Indigenous.

Specialization in any area of the social sciences and humanities will be 
considered. The Faculty currently has major programs in Criminology, 
Communication & Digital Media Studies, Legal Studies, Liberal Studies, 
Political Science, and General & Forensic Psychology, as well as 
specialized minor programs in Indigenous Studies and Sustainability. The 
Faculty encourages collaborative and interdisciplinary teaching and 
research. The successful candidate may have the opportunity to 
contribute to the new interdisciplinary Master’s program in Social 
Practice and Innovation, or one of the other graduate programs in 
Criminology and Psychology.

While Ontario Tech University is at the early stages of the 
reconciliation and Indigenization process, the university is committed 
to supporting Indigenous scholars, staff, and students; developing 
understanding among the university community around Indigenous 
worldviews and knowledge systems; and building community with the 
surrounding Indigenous nations. More information can be found at the 
Indigenous Education and Cultural Services website.

The Faculty recently launched an Indigenous Studies minor, which offers 
courses such as: Introduction to Indigenous Studies: Colonial History 
and its Impacts on Indigenous Peoples, (Re)Membering Reciprocal 
Relations), History and Stories of the Michi Saagiig and Haudenosaunee 
in Southern Ontario, Indigenous Digital and Visual Media, and 
Contemporary Indigenous Literature.

• Candidates must have a PhD or be all-but-dissertation (ABD) in a 
relevant discipline.
• The ideal candidate will demonstrate capacity to contribute to the 
Indigenous Studies Minor.
• The successful candidate must self-identify as Indigenous. Ontario 
Tech University recognizes that there are a variety of terms used to 
encompass the people of Turtle Island, including those who identify as 
status and non-status First Nations, Métis, Inuk (Inuit), Alaska Native, 
Native American, and Native Hawaiian people. Please include this in your 
cover letter.

The successful candidate will be expected to follow a 40% Research, 40% 
Teaching and 20% Service workload each year.

Applicants should submit in electronic format a covering letter; a 
curriculum vitae; a statement of teaching philosophy (1 page); an 
outline of their present research program (1 page); 5-year research plan 
(1 page); and the names of three referees (the search committee will 
only contact referees for reference letters in the case of the candidate 
being shortlisted). Shortlisted applicants will submit a writing sample 
and teaching evaluations (if available).

Applicants are invited to self-identify on their cover letter and share 
their relationship with and commitment to Indigenous communities in 
their application package; we understand that such relationships and 
communities can take many forms. Applicant self-identification 
information will be used for the purposes of screening and 
consideration. Please note that this information will be securely 
accessed only by members of the selection committee.

Candidates should submit their applications in digital format (as a 
single pdf file) to the Ontario Tech University Human Resources website.
