Situated on the unceded, ancestral, and traditional territory of the xwmə0kwəy’əm (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 an Assistant Professor (tenure-track) or Associate Professor (tenured) position in Indigenous Language and Literacy Education. The position is set to begin on July 1, 2025, but this start date can be negotiated with the successful candidate.
We invite candidates whose work focuses on Indigenous language and literacy education, research, teaching, and community collaboration. We see Indigenous language and literacy education as encompassing a broad range of meaning-making practices in contexts of Indigeneity and Indigenous knowledge. Examples include but are not limited to storytelling; land-based literacies; “orality”, including histories and narrative pedagogies; children and
adolescent literatures; multimodal and digital literacies; health literacies; language and culture revitalization, renewal and reclamation; and literacy pedagogies in school, community-based and other educational contexts.
