Full-time Continuing Faculty: Contemporary Cultural Life

Quest University Canada's Humanities Division invites applications for a full-time continuing faculty position in cultural life in the contemporary world to begin August 1, 2013. While the area is open, the successful candidate will have methodological expertise in cultural criticism and/or cultural studies. We are particularly interested in candidates who address social action, media/visual culture, or the culture of politics beyond the action of the state.

Field and rank are open. PhD and evidence of effective teaching are required.

In addition to teaching courses in cultural criticism and/or studies, the person appointed will teach in our interdisciplinary Humanities Foundation, develop and offer Concentration seminars, and give our Milestone courses (Cornerstone, Rhetoric, Question, Keystone) on a rotating basis. Quest classes are seminar-style, and are limited to 20 students.

The successful candidate will hold the PhD or equivalent at time of appointment (August 1, 2014). Teaching experience is required, as is evidence of excellence in teaching.

Although research is encouraged, those seeking a research-focused faculty position should not apply.

Prospective applicants should read "Information for Faculty Applicants". Applications should be sent to humfaculty@questu.ca by Friday, January 3; start date is August 1, 2014. Screening of applications begins January 3 and continues until the position is filled.
