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.

The J. S. Woodsworth Chair in Humanities in the Department of Global Humanities at Simon Fraser University (SFU) was established to honour the legacy and spirit of James Shaver Woodsworth, a founder of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation in 1932, forerunner of today’s New Democratic Party. The Woodsworth legacy is tied not to specific projects or themes, but rather to moral courage, social sympathies, passion for truth, and intellectual pioneering in the pursuit of social progress, education, and empowerment. This academic appointment will involve teaching, research and, particularly, community engagement in close collaboration with the Institute for the Humanities.  In this capacity, the Chair-holder will: a) be expected to include a community development dimension within the range of their activities; b) play an active role in public programming; and c) support activities that contribute to the quality of the educational environment at SFU.

The Department of Global Humanities is an interdisciplinary unit that includes specialists in Classics, Early Christianity, Byzantine and Renaissance Studies, East-Asian Religions, Chinese and European literature, and Critical Theory.  The Department is increasingly interested in non-Western traditions of thought and culture, including Indigenous traditions.  

The Department of Global Humanities is seeking a candidate for this appointment with expertise and publications in the field of critical and comparative approaches to some combination of economic, environmental, and social justice and social movements; labour history and movements; Western, Eastern, and Indigenous modes of spiritual and ethical philosophy. 

The appointment shall be at the Associate or Full Professor rank, and applicants should have a doctorate or equivalent, a strong record of effective teaching, scholarly excellence as well as experience in addressing public audiences.   The Chair-holder will typically teach three courses per year, including the J. S. Woodsworth seminar, and engage in other scholarly and public activities.

Woodsworth Chair appointment in accordance with current SFUFA/SFU Collective Agreement articles and university policies and procedures. Appointment to the Chair will be for a five (5) year term, renewable, or period prescribed by applicable SFUFA/SFU Collective Agreement articles and university policies.

In keeping with SFU’s strategic vision which pledges to foster a culture of inclusion and mutual respect and to celebrate diversity among faculty, SFU is committed to ensuring that no individual is denied access to employment opportunities for reasons unrelated to ability or qualifications. SFU is dedicated to building a diverse faculty by advancing the interests of underrepresented groups, specifically women, Indigenous people, persons with disabilities, visible minorities, and sexual and gender diverse communities; ensuring that equal opportunity is afforded to all who seek employment at the University; and treating all employees equitably.. Candidates that belong to underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply. We are especially interested in candidates with a demonstrated history of advocating for equity, diversity, and inclusion.

We acknowledge the Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw), Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm), Tsleil-Waututh, Katzie, and Kwikwetlem peoples, on whose traditional territories Simon Fraser University's three campuses stand. By recognizing the Unceded Traditional Coast Salish territories, we aspire to create space for reconciliation through dialogue and decolonizing practices. 

The Department of World Languages and Literatures, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Simon Fraser University, invites applications for a 1.0 FTE tenure-track research faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of World Literature/Hispanophone literatures, starting as early as summer 2022.

Ideal candidates will show research promise in World/Comparative and Spanish peninsular / Latin American literatures. Candidates should also show potential in subfields of World Literature such as translation studies or film studies, and command of a third language outside of Spanish and English. The ability to creatively bridge literature and language in both pedagogy and research would be an asset.

The Department of World Languages and Literatures offers a rigorous and innovative undergraduate program offering a Major, Minor, and Honours degree in the cross-cultural study of World Literature. The successful candidate will be required to teach four undergraduate courses a year at both lower and upper-division levels of the World Literature curriculum. All literatures are taught in English translation and all courses are designed to feature a cross-cultural selection of world literature. Critical theory and academic writing in the discipline are also strong foci of the curriculum. A short description of all course offerings can be found in SFU’s Academic Calendar: https://www.sfu.ca/students/calendar/2020/summer/courses/wl.html.

Service is also a priority, and the successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate an appropriate level of involvement in our newly formed department, which alongside the study of world literatures in translation, offers foreign language instruction in nine languages including Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish, and Italian.

Application to this position acknowledges that it is the responsibility of the instructor to adapt teaching practices to the circumstances imposed by Covid 19 in accordance with Department and Faculty policies. Assistance with adapting to these policies will be available from the Centre for Educational Excellence.

Qualifications: The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. by the appointment start date or shortly thereafter, ideally in Comparative Literature, Spanish / Latin American literature, or related discipline. We seek a candidate who has a demonstrated record, or promise, of excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level and commitment to inclusive teaching practices. This is an entry-level position. Only those eligible to be appointed or promoted to the rank will be considered.
