The Department of Humanities, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies, York University invites highly qualified candidates to apply for a professorial stream
<b>tenure-track appointment in Environmental Humanities at the Assistant Professor level, to commence July 1, 2022</b>. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. All York University positions are subject to budgetary approval. <br>
<br>
The Humanities major brings interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives to questions of historical and contemporary significance. It is seeking an appointment in Environmental Humanities to address a primary cultural, intellectual and environmental challenge
facing the contemporary world. Humanistic perspectives on environmental issues are fundamental to reframing our relationships and responsibilities to the natural world in this time of rapid change. The deepening present environmental and social crises are entangled
with the ways in which diverse human cultures have made themselves at home in the natural world. The radical alterations of the world in which we live as a result of climate change and other anthropogenic factors require us to rethink many of the concepts
and practices that have been central to the understandings and aspirations of (post)colonial cultures. The perspectives of land-based cultures, such as local and global Indigenous peoples, may provide some alternative models for relationships between humans,
other life forms, and the land itself. <br>
<br>
The Department of Humanities is seeking highly qualified candidates with a PhD or PhD by July 1, 2022 in Environmental Humanities or a related degree; Humanities-based methods should be centred in the candidate’s research. We are interested in candidates whose
work critically engages current environmental issues from perspectives that complement and extend existing faculty strengths including interdisciplinary animal studies, Indigenous studies, equity studies, history of science and technology, philosophies of nature
and the anthropocene, as well as digital and acoustic culture. Candidates should be able to teach across disciplines and across cultural and medial forms. <br>
<br>
The successful candidate will be expected to engage in outstanding, innovative, and, as appropriate, externally funded research at the highest level. <br>
<br>
Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence or promise of research excellence of a recognized international calibre as demonstrated in: the research statement; a record of publications (or forthcoming publications) with significant journals in the
field; presentations at major conferences; awards and accolades; and strong recommendations from referees of high standing. <br>
<br>
The position will involve graduate teaching and supervision, as well as undergraduate teaching, and the successful candidate must be suitable for prompt appointment to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. <br>
<br>
Evidence of excellence or promise of excellence in teaching will be provided by: the teaching statement; teaching accomplishments and pedagogical innovations including in high priority areas such as experiential education and technology enhanced learning; teaching evaluations;
and strong letters of reference. <br>
<br>
York is a leading international teaching and research university, and a driving force for positive change. Empowered by a welcoming and diverse community with a uniquely global perspective, we are preparing our students for their long-term careers and personal
success. Together, we can make things right for our communities, our planet and our future. <br>
