Job description

Trent University invites applications for two Limited-Term Appointments (LTAs) at the rank of Assistant Professor at the Trent/Fleming School of Nursing. Subject to budgetary approval, the positions could commence as early as August 15, 2025, and will be located at the beautiful Symons campus, set on the banks of the Otonabee River in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

Trent University is one of the top-ranked primarily undergraduate universities in Ontario, with a record of excellence in both teaching and research. The TFSON is distinguished by its transformative education and offers a collaborative and compressed Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. The TFSON also has a Master of Science in Nursing and two Graduate Diplomas – one in Mental Health and Addictions Nursing and the other in Dementia. We are particularly interested in nurses who have the requisite knowledge and expertise to teach in two or more of the following areas: Nursing as a profession, nursing leadership, life sciences, pharmacology, pathophysiology, health promotion and population health, and family nursing. We are seeking exceptional candidates who can effectively translate their knowledge to nursing students in ways that ground and inspire new nurses to provide exceptional nursing care. Experience in providing clinical student supervision will also be considered an asset. LTA faculty may be expected to teach a portion of their course load in the summer. As with other faculty positions, the successful candidate will contribute to the service needs of the School, University, community, and profession, as appropriate. The current salary grid can be found in the collective agreement with the Trent University Faculty Association.

Qualifications:

• Candidates must have a completed graduate degree in nursing.
• Preference will be given to a candidate with a PhD (completed or in progress) in nursing or a related discipline.
• Candidates for these positions must be Registered Nurses, either in the General or Extended Class, who are eligible to practice without restrictions as recognized by the College of Nurses of Ontario.

Application Process:

Candidates are invited to submit applications in a single PDF file by email to Dr. Hugo Lehmann, Dean, Trent/Fleming School of Nursing, Trent University, Peterborough, ON K9J7B8; [e-mail]. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. The review of applications will begin after June 20th, 2025, and applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The application for this position should include:

1. A cover letter detailing the candidate’s suitability for the position,
2. A curriculum vitae and information including:
   1. Capacity for teaching excellence as evidenced by a teaching dossier, which typically includes a teaching philosophy statement. This may include one or more examples of best practices in pedagogy, such as sample syllabi, summaries of student experience surveys, and/or other relevant achievements in teaching.
   2. The names and contact information of three (3) individuals who may be asked by the TFSON to send confidential letters of reference.
3. Applicants may also submit a self-identification form as part of their application package. Trent University is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive campus community. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. Preference will be given to candidates from underrepresented groups, including women, Indigenous People (First Nations, Inuit and Métis), persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities or racialized groups and LGBTQ2+ people.
