The new Faculty of Arts Institute of Indigenous Research and Knowledges (FAIIRK) at ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï (Montreal, Canada) was approved in May 2025. FAIIRK provides a dedicated institutional home within the Faculty of Arts for research and teaching into Indigenous methodologies, epistemologies, pedagogies, and philosophies, knowledges and experiences in Canada and across the world, where deepening knowledge of the local is enhanced by global comparative frameworks.
FAIIRK invites applications for a senior tenure-track position in Indigenous Studies, at the rank of Full Professor (or Associate Professor who is expected to be promoted to Full Professor within two years). The position carries with it the possibility of a Canada Research Chair (CRC Tier 1) for qualified First Nations, Inuit, or Metis candidates.
We welcome candidates whose work demonstrates an internationally recognized research and teaching agenda in at least one of these three areas: Indigenous languages, Indigenous governance systems, and Indigenous land-based methodologies and practices. Candidates whose work aligns with other topical themes within Indigenous Studies are also welcome to apply.
A successful First Nations, Inuit, or Metis candidate that satisfies the eligibility conditions of the Canada Research Chair (CRC) program will be supported by the University for nomination to a CRC. Candidates for the CRC will be assessed based on demonstrated evidence of existing outstanding original research, and clear recognition as an original researcher of world-class calibre and as a leader in their field.
Applications are now closed.
