CANADA RESEARCH CHAIRS (3) TIER 2, EMILY CARR UNIVERSITY OF ART + DESIGN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded in 1925, Emily Carr University of Art + Design is a centre for innovation in art and design research\u00a0and education, and is one of four Canadian institutions dedicated to the education of artists, designers, and\u00a0media practitioners. Over the past decade, Emily Carr has grown its undergraduate and graduate degree\u00a0programs, and has developed research facilities and programs across a broad range of fields, including Social\u00a0and Environmental Sustainability, Stereoscopic\/3-D Film, Digital and Social Media, Wearable Computing,\u00a0Health Design, and Materials and Fabrication Research. This spring, the University announced plans for the\u00a0construction of a new campus on the Great Northern Way site in Vancouver. The new Emily Carr campus\u00a0(http:\/\/www.ecuad.ca\/gnwcampus), set to be completed in 2016, will further support our vision of a\u00a0multidisciplinary research and teaching environment where students, faculty, community members and\u00a0industry partners work within a project-based curriculum that addresses the changing landscape of education\u00a0and of the cultural and creative industries.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

In this context, Emily Carr University is inviting applications for three Canada Research Chairs (Tier 2) in the\u00a0following areas of expertise:<\/p>\n

1. Aboriginal Studies\/Social and Cultural Practice: The values of citizenship and community are central\u00a0to our teaching and research practice at Emily Carr. We believe in the importance of promoting critical\u00a0cultural awareness, engagement with our wider communities, social and environmental sustainability, and\u00a0social justice as core elements of our teaching and research practice. We are particularly interested in\u00a0how valuing and respecting Indigenous perspectives and methodologies can translate into innovative\u00a0pedagogy across our curriculum and programs. The ideal candidate for this position will hold a PhD in\u00a0aboriginal studies or a related field within art, media and\/or design. They will value a generalized,\u00a0transdisciplinary approach to indigenous studies and pedagogy, and will be equally fluent in academic\u00a0discourse and studio practice and in balancing conceptual, aesthetic and research demands. Candidates\u00a0should have a proven and established research practice, and should remain open to engaging with a\u00a0range of new and existing community and industry-partnered projects. Preference will be given to\u00a0qualified applicants of Aboriginal ancestry.<\/p>\n

2. Digital Media\/Moving Image: Dynamic Media at Emily Carr includes programs in Interactive + Social\u00a0Media, Animation, and Film, Video + Integrated Media, and active research initiatives in a wide range of\u00a0interdisciplinary media fields, including robotics, mobile apps, social media platforms, interactive sound\u00a0and video, interactive wearables, and documentary and 3-D stereoscopic film. All of these programs and\u00a0initiatives are engaged in exploring the social, economic, political, and cultural context of emerging\u00a0media. The ideal candidate for this position will hold a PhD in a media related field with core interests in\u00a0speculative design, culture, and emerging media forms. The candidate should have a hands-on, critical\u00a0engagement with technology and culture across a range of fields that may include but aren\u2019t limited to\u00a0film, data visualization, animation, interactive and performance art, social media, or public art, and\u00a0interests in participatory practice in its many forms. Candidates should have a proven and established\u00a0research practice, and should remain open to engaging with a range of new and existing community and\u00a0industry-partnered projects.<\/p>\n

3. Transdisciplinary\/Multidisciplinary Design Research: Design at Emily Carr includes programs in\u00a0Interaction Design, Industrial Design, and Communication Design. These programs have shared values\u00a0and goals in areas of collaboration, sustainability, interdisciplinarity, technological engagement, the\u00a0development of new research methods and approaches to design, and the creation of imaginative and\u00a0provocative work within \u2013 and with attention to \u2013 a broader cultural context. The ideal candidate for this\u00a0position will hold a PhD in a design or design-related field, and will value a generalized, transdisciplinary\u00a0approach to design with a broad understanding of human-centered, participatory design methodologies.\u00a0Candidates should be comfortable researching and conceptualizing in all three program areas in Design,\u00a0and they should be equally fluent in design discourse and studio practice and in balancing the conceptual,\u00a0aesthetic and technical demands of the discipline. Candidates should have a proven and established\u00a0research practice, and should remain open to engaging with a range of new and existing industry partnered\u00a0projects, including health design, social and interactive media, and community-based design\u00a0for social change.<\/p>\n

Successful candidates for these positions will be exceptional emerging scholars with demonstrated potential\u00a0for becoming national and world leaders in their area(s) of research. Candidates should have a strong interest\u00a0in working in a multi-disciplinary art and design environment, experience with industry\/community-engaged\u00a0research practice, and demonstrated excellence in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.\u00a0Candidates should hold a PhD in their area of expertise, and should have obtained their degree in the last 10\u00a0years.<\/p>\n

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a cover letter expressing your interest in the position and providing\u00a0a brief overview of your (3-5 year) research plan, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and the names and\u00a0contact information of three references to:<\/p>\n
