Faculty Position One-Year Term Appointment

Brandon University is a leader in providing high quality education to some 3,000 full- and part-time students in arts, sciences, education, music and health studies. Based in southwestern Manitoba, Brandon University also offers pre-professional and Masters Programs, as well as innovative and award-winning outreach programs, in a personalized learning environment.

The First Nations and Aboriginal Counselling degree program was formulated using First Nations and Aboriginal holistic approaches to counselling, healing, and community. The program's cross-cultural approach takes into account First Nations, Métis, Inuit, Western, and academic insights into effective counselling. Students of all ethnic and national backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to benefit from this program. It is of special interest to persons who hope to work as counsellors with First Nations and Aboriginal clients, but its unique cross-cultural content will be valuable in other contexts as well.

Applications are invited for a one-year term faculty position. We seek an individual with a commitment to excellence in teaching and research. Experience communicating and working with First Nation and Métis organizations and relevant professional groups would be assets. Duties of the position may include teaching, counselling, research/scholarship, and some administrative duties.

Qualifications:
A Doctorate in a relevant discipline (for example, Native Studies, Sociology, Social Work, Psychology) is preferred. A Master's degree and relevant experience will be considered. The successful candidate must have knowledge of First Nations and Aboriginal traditional healing and have counselling experience.

Interested candidates should forward a letter of application, curriculum vitae, university transcripts and names of three referees. Short-listed candidates will be required to provide official credentials at time of interview.

Rank and Salary: Commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Application deadline: April 30, 2008 or until position is filled

Start Date: August 1, 2008
