Situated on the unceded, ancestral and traditional territory of the hən’q’əmin’əm’-speaking xwmə0kwəyiəm (Musqueam) people, the Department of Language and Literacy Education (LLED) in the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Teaching in French Education and French Teacher Education. The scholar hired into this educational leadership stream position will collaborate with colleagues in the Department of Language and Literacy Education, the Teacher Education Office, and the Faculty of Education to sustain UBC’s commitments to leadership and innovation in French language education in British Columbia and more widely in Canada and internationally, as well as to support French pre- and in-service teachers in their professional contexts. This position is expected to commence July 1, 2023, or a date agreed upon by the University and the successful candidate.
While we welcome applications from doctoral candidates who are close to completion, the successful candidate must have an earned a PhD or EdD in Language and/or Literacy Education or Applied Linguistics by the start date of this appointment. Preference will be given to applicants with documented experience in teaching in French in teacher education settings as well as teaching French as an additional or minority language in schools (K-12), and with evidence of leadership in curriculum development, program and course coordination, and community outreach. The successful candidate is expected to speak French fluently, and demonstrate a commitment to promoting French as an official language in a predominantly anglophone (yet multilingual) province. Equally important is an exemplary track record of enacting and advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, and anti-racism in teaching, educational leadership, and community engagement. Evidence of meaningful engagement with Indigenous priorities in French second language education as well as experience in teaching online is considered advantageous as well.
