About The Position

St. Thomas More College (STM) invites applications from qualified individuals who identify as Indigenous and whose teaching and research interests complement and strengthen our existing areas of strength. STM has teaching and research needs in the departments of history, religious studies, languages, literatures, & cultural studies, economics, political studies, and psychology, as well as in academic areas unique to STM such as Catholic studies, peace studies, and social justice. This tenure-track position, at the rank of Assistant Professor, has a projected start date of July 1, 2027. STM is committed to employment equity and diversity, and Indigenous engagement is a strategic priority. As part of this commitment, we plan to increase the number of Indigenous faculty within the college, while supporting them to build community, collaboration, and career success. This position is, therefore, exclusively aimed at individuals identifying as Indigenous. Candidates are asked to identify as Indigenous in their application and are invited to share how their Indigenous heritage and community connections will inform their teaching, research, scholarly, and/or artistic activities. This search process relies on Section 48 of The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code to give preference in employment to a person of Indigenous ancestry for this position.
