_____________Subject: Please Circulate: QNS position in Black
Geographies
The Departments of Gender Studies and Geography & Planning, Faculty of
Arts and Science at Queen’s University invite applications for a
Queen’s National Scholar position in Black Geographies at the rank of
Assistant or Associate Professor. This is a tenured or tenure-track
joint position with specialization in Black Geographies and issues of
race, gender, and culture. This position will have a preferred starting
date of July 1, 2019.
The Department of Gender Studies at Queen’s University has 8 faculty
members and is committed to interdisciplinary, historical and
transnational research and teaching grounded in feminist, anti-racist,
Indigenous, postcolonial, queer, trans, and social justice studies. The
Department of Geography & Planning at Queen's University has 26 faculty
members working in diverse areas of both human and physical geography
and planning. Together, these Departments host a range of undergraduate
and graduate programs, including PhD offerings. The successful candidate
will teach and have opportunities to supervise students in both
Departments.
With this appointment, we seek to augment Queen’s expertise in Black
Studies, and particularly seek candidates who study interconnections of
race, oppression and resistance in relation to place and space. We
welcome candidates who will bring expertise to one or more of the
following areas of scholarship: transatlantic slavery and its afterlife;
racial capitalism; urban geographies; embodiment and performance;
carceral or youth geographies; social movements; health and environment.
Scholars who demonstrate engagement with feminist, decolonial, trans,
and queer studies are encouraged to apply
The successful candidate will be expected to initiate a high quality,
independent research program that is competitive for funding through
Canada’s Tri-Council. The Departments of Gender Studies and Geography
& Planning are well equipped and have established long-term research
relationships with other universities around the world, which will give
the candidate opportunities to fast track their research ideas and to
build collaborations with colleagues within and beyond Queen’s.
Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent degree completed at the start
date of the appointment. The main criteria for selection are academic
and teaching excellence. The successful candidate will provide evidence
of high quality scholarly output that demonstrates potential for
independent research leading to peer assessed publications and the
securing of external research funding, as well as strong potential for
outstanding teaching contributions at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels, and an ongoing commitment to academic and pedagogical
excellence in support of the department’s programs. Post Ph.D.
experience involving undergraduate and graduate supervision and teaching
is considered a strong asset. Candidates must provide evidence of an
ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary and
student-centred environment. The successful candidate will be required
to make substantive contributions through service to both departments,
the Faculty, the University, and/or the broader community. Salary will
be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
The University invites applications from all qualified individuals.
Queen’s is committed to employment equity and diversity in the
workplace and welcomes applications from women, visible minorities,
Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ persons. All
qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance
with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadian citizens and permanent
residents of Canada will be given priority.
To comply with federal laws, the University is obliged to gather
statistical information as to how many applicants for each job vacancy
are Canadian citizens / permanent residents of Canada. Applicants need
not identify their country of origin or citizenship; however, all
applications must include one of the following statements: “I am a
Canadian citizen / permanent resident of Canada”; OR, “I am not a
Canadian citizen /permanent resident of Canada”. Applications that do
not include this information will be deemed incomplete.
A complete application consists of:
* a cover letter (including one of the two statements regarding
Canadian citizenship / permanent resident status specified in the
previous paragraph);
* a current Curriculum Vitae (including a list of publications);
* three samples of research publications;
* a statement of research interests and experience (including graduate
supervision);
* a statement of teaching interests and experience (including
