ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

The Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences at Simon Fraser University invites applications for the Farley Distinguished Visiting Scholar in History for the 2025–2026 academic year.

The Farley Distinguished Visiting Scholar is dedicated to the teaching of history, broadly construed, which is understood to include studies of the past, including the recent past, carried out within the departments and programs of the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences.  The Farley Distinguished Visiting Scholar is appointed as a Visiting Faculty Member for up to two terms in an academic year. SFU operates year-round, with Fall, Winter, and Summer terms. While at SFU, the Farley scholar will have the opportunity to interact extensively with faculty and students, and to stimulate discussion across disciplines. They normally teach one course or lead other types of relevant intellectual activities that will be open to students across the university. Farley Scholars are encouraged and supported in public outreach activities that may take a variety of forms. The stipend for the Farley Distinguished Visiting Scholar is up to CAD 55,000 (commensurate with the length of the visit).

Those applicants who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents will require a work permit. SFU’s Faculty Relations team will assist with that process and a modest moving allowance is provided. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

In 2025–2026, the Farley Distinguished Visiting Scholar will be hosted by the History Department, with the possibility of an affiliation with one of FASS’s other departments or schools.

Simon Fraser University is an institution whose strength is based on our shared commitments to diversity, equity, inclusion, and decolonization. Diversity is an underlying principle of our Strategic Vision, which pledges SFU to “foster a culture of inclusion and mutual respect, celebrating the diversity reflected among its students, faculty, staff, and our community.” Consistent with this principle, SFU works to advance the interests of underrepresented members of the work force, specifically Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, racialized persons, and women; embrace gender and sexual diversity; ensure that equal opportunity is afforded to all who seek employment at the University; and treat all employees equitably. More particularly, SFU has adopted the recommendations of the Aboriginal Reconciliation Council [ARC] report, has recently completed a strategic cluster of appointments of Indigenous scholars across the University and on September 13, 2021 passed a motion in its Senate in support of the hiring of 15 Black scholars (hiring that is currently underway). SFU is also committed to developing curricular programs that incorporate knowledges historically devalued by the university. SFU’s Black Caucus and Queer Faculty Network are two examples of the faculty-led initiatives making safer scholarly spaces and uplifting the work of historically marginalized colleagues. The Farley appointment committee enthusiastically welcomes applications from scholars belonging to underrepresented groups.

We are now accepting applications for a position to begin as early as July 15, 2024.

Position Qualifications

We are looking for a candidate who can strengthen the capacity of the Law and Forensic area with respect to research; the teaching, training, and supervision of graduate and undergraduate students; and service at the university and in the broader academic community. To that end, the successful candidate will have the following qualifications:

• Demonstrated interest and expertise in research related to law and forensic psychology. Ideally, the candidate’s research interests will include clinical-forensic topics, but the innovation and excellence of their research will be of greater importance than the specific focus.
• Ability to contribute to the Department’s Clinical Psychology Program through some combination of graduate teaching, training, and supervision.

Duties

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the University’s research excellence through a rigorous research program. The candidate will be expected to teach courses in both undergraduate and graduate programs and to supervise graduate students. Finally, it is expected that the successful candidate will contribute to the Department, Faculty, University, and the academic community through service. Preference will be given to candidates who also have skills or experiences that can help enhance the Department’s openness and responsiveness to diversity.

The Law and Forensic Psychology Area

Graduate training with a specific concentration in Law and Forensic Psychology was formally established at SFU in 1992 and quickly became one of the world’s leading sites for research and training in the field. Its overarching goal is to train students to apply psychological theories and methods to matters of law and policy for the betterment of people involved in or affected by the legal system and society more broadly.

Faculty members in the Law and Forensic Psychology Program, past and present, are recognized internationally for their contributions to research, practice, and service. At SFU, they have served in major administrative roles, including as Chair and Associate Chair and Director of Clinical Training in the Department. Outside the University, they have held influential positions as journal editors (including Law and Human Behavior) or as chief executives of major academic and professional associations, including as President of the American Psychology-Law Society – four times! The Law and Forensic Psychology Program currently has five core faculty and seeks to hire a sixth. Collectively, the core faculty members have a wide range of interests. Three faculty members have law degrees in addition to doctoral degrees in psychology.

An average of 25 graduate students each year are members of the Law and Forensic Psychology Area, enrolled in the MA or PhD programs. About 2/3 of those students were admitted to the Department’s Clinical Psychology Program and about 1/3 were admitted to the Psychology Graduate Program, which provides training in applied, basic, and theoretical research in psychology.
