Grant MacEwan University, Faculty of Arts and Science

Assistant Professor, Humanities

Competition #15.10.123

The Department of Humanities in the Faculty of Arts and Science at MacEwan University invites applications for a full-time probationary appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing July 1, 2016, subject to final budgetary approval.

The Department is looking for an expert in late antiquity or the medieval world, who has teaching competence in both of these areas and is, accordingly, capable of teaching both classics and history courses. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated record of integrating digital technology in teaching, research, and the dissemination of research.  Although all specializations fitting the above criteria will be considered, the ideal candidate will be a cultural historian specializing in religion or art.

Preferred candidates will hold a Ph.D. in a relevant area of expertise and will demonstrate a primary commitment to undergraduate teaching and an ongoing research program. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching dossier (including recent teaching evaluations), statement of research interests, sample of scholarly work, and academic transcripts. Three letters of reference, quoting the competition number, should be sent directly from referees to careers@macewan.ca.
Questions about this opportunity may be addressed to Dr. Edvard Lorkovic, Chair, Department of Humanities, at LorkovicE@macewan.ca.

This position is included under the Faculty Association collective agreement. Effective July 1, 2016, the annual salary range for a Ph.D. is $76,148 to $121,252. A review of applications will begin December 14, 2015 and will continue until shortlisting is complete.

Thank you for your interest in employment with MacEwan University. We will be reviewing all applications to select the candidates whose qualifications and experience most closely meet our needs. Only applicants selected for interviews will be contacted.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
