| Title | Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Studies |
| Body | From Aliki Marinakis (aliki@uvic.ca) The Department of Linguistics at the University of Victoria seeks a candidate for a Chair in Indigenous Studies within the Canada Research Chair program. This position is designated as Tier II (emerging scholar) and will be filled by an active researcher whose profile meets the requirements of the CRC program (see http://www.chairs.gc.ca for details of the CRC program and necessary qualifications for those nominated). The person will provide leadership to the efforts centred in our Department and the Faculty of Humanities related to Indigenous language research, documentation, maintenance, and revitalization, and will contribute to interdisciplinary work through links across campus especially in the faculties of Social Sciences, Fine Arts and the newly approved Minor in Indigenous Studies. The Canada Research Chair will be filled by a person of indigenous origin who will examine First Nations languages and linguistic cultures within Canada as well as in an international context. We are looking for a person who will contribute to and participate in the linguistic and cultural aspects of the life of indigenous communities, preferably those in British Columbia or those with close connections to this province. The chair holder will add to the store of knowledge and understanding of languages, cultures and related issues of concern to First Nations peoples by developing scholarship in partnership with indigenous communities. In doing this, the chair holder will be involved in the process of both defining significant issues internal to the community and the definition of the academic field of study itself. Candidates should submit a letter of application indicating a research plan and priorities and a curriculum vitae by 1 February 2004. Names of referees will be requested at a later date. Applications should be submitted to: Dr. Leslie Saxon Chair, Department of Linguistics University of Victoria Box 3045 STN CSC Victoria, BC V8W 3P4 (saxon@uvic.ca) |
