The successful applicant will be appointed in a tenure-stream position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in one of the eight departments in the Faculty based on disciplinary fit. The CRC will work in partnership with the Atlantic Indigenous Economic Development Integrated Research Program (AIEDIRP) at the Atlantic Policy Congress of First Nations Chiefs Secretariat Inc (APC).

The Chair will bring their expertise and passion to conduct research motivated by the challenges faced by Indigenous communities and will bring Indigenous-led knowledge and value to communities. They will hold expertise in a social science with focus on topics related to prosperity of Indigenous communities, where prosperity is understood in a broad sense to include the interrelated aspects of economic rights and advancement, strong social fabric, and relational well-being. The Chair may focus on issues related to economic reconciliation, including micro- (e.g. Indigenous entrepreneurship, Indigenous human resources), meso- (e.g. Indigenous organizations, Indigenous-no Indigenous partnerships), or macro-level issues (e.g. Indigenous economic system, Indigenous innovation strategies). The Chair will have an in-depth understanding of the academic and practical importance of core documents, such as the Truth and Reconciliation Reports and the United Nations Declaration of Rights of Indigenous People.

The Faculty of Management is committed to the advancement of Indigenous-led research and has identified “Indigenous Paradigms for Management” as one of its six core research strengths.

Research in the Faculty also includes work to advance culturally appropriate language and to eliminate harmful language in the management systems of libraries, archives, and other information platforms. More broadly, disciplines represented in Faculty of Management span from traditional business disciplines to information science and public policy studies.
