Academic Position in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies (CRDS) The University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine, is seeking to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Program beginning July 1, 2013 or at a mutually agreeable time. Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies (CRDS) is an interdisciplinary Program housed in the Department of Community Health Sciences. CRDS employs the social justice framework to examine the intersection between community and disability, chronic illness, and other marginalizing conditions. The goal is to generate and influence research, theory, leadership, capacity, innovation, policy, and partnerships that advance knowledge, policy and practice. Our graduate programs attract professionals across disciplines and sectors, as well as student pursuing an academic career. http://www.ucalgary.ca/crds/ Desired qualifications include a completed doctorate in a related discipline, an established record of research in the disability field, and evidence of successful teaching experience in college or university settings. Expertise in at least one or more areas of disability related to social, economic, political, legal and a good understanding of disability activism and leadership in the community is expected. Duties will include developing a program of action research eligible for external grant support, teaching in inquiry-based undergraduate and graduate programs delivered on campus and at a distance, and supervision of graduate students. Experience in inter-disciplinary partnerships in community health contexts and/or inter-faculty collaboration in promoting critical disability studies will be an asset, as will a working knowledge of distributed education strategies, and a demonstrated capacity to work effectively in a collaborative culture. Increasing scholarly capacity will help the University of Calgary meet its strategic goal to become one of Canada's top five research universities by 2016, where innovative teaching and groundbreaking research go hand in hand, and where we fully engage the communities we both serve and lead. The strategy is called Eyes High, inspired by the university's Gaelic motto, which translates as 'I will lift up my eyes.' Applicants should submit a letter of application providing a synopsis of their pertinent history and experience, a current curriculum vitae, a sample of recent scholarly work, and the names and contact information for three referees. Applications should be addressed to Dr. C.J. Doig, Head, Department of Community Health Sciences, 3280 Hospital Drive NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2N 4Z6.
