disciplines such as Literary Studies and History, social science
disciplines such as Anthropology, Economics, Political Studies, and
Sociology, or interdisciplinary fields such as Cultural Studies, Native
Studies, Labour Studies, Global Political Economy and Women?s Studies.
The successful applicant would be appointed in the department of
his/her choice, with the possibility of a cross-appointment in other
relevant departments.

The successful applicant will demonstrate a firm grasp of the key
issues and literature associated with the broad themes of Globalization
and Cultural Studies. A PhD and an established outstanding record of
publication that demonstrates a successful and active research program
is required. Experience in teaching and mentoring graduate students is

ability to promote discussion, debate, and research collaborations
across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
