[Commlist] Job posting - CIFAR Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Indigeneity

Media and Technologies Studies in the Faculty of Arts at the University 
of Alberta is seeking applications from scholars who would be eligible 
to be nominated for a CIFAR Chair in Artificial Intelligence and 
 Indigeneity. The successful candidate will assume a tenured position 
at the rank of Assistant, Associate or  Full Professor.

The ideal candidate will lead an innovative program of research that 
develops areas including but not limited  to:

● Indigenous epistemologies
● digital humanities
● software studies
● emergent media theories

with special emphasis on how these areas intersect with decolonization, 
artificial intelligence understood broadly, and Indigenous research and 
knowledge.

The Faculty of Arts encourages First Nations, Métis, and Inuit scholars 
to apply, along with  Indigenous scholars from any geographical region. 
Applicants should self-identify and are encouraged to demonstrate 
Indigenous community connections. Both Canadian and international 
scholars will be considered, and they must hold a terminal degree (PhD 
or MFA/MDes).

We seek research leadership and mentorship that will stimulate effective 
collaborations within the Program, Faculty and University. Demonstrated 
experience leading research and/or research-creation projects at the 
intersection of AI and Indigenous research would be an asset.

Candidates are expected to be conducting an innovative and robust 
research program in the field of AI,  demonstrated by a strong record of 
publications and presentations in important venues or a record of 
diverse research experiences, such as research-creation or 
community-engaged scholarship.  Candidates should have a clear plan for 
future research.

The review of applications will start on March 13, 2023, and will 
continue until the position is filled,  with a targeted start date of 
July 1, 2023. The job posting can be viewed here:
