English Canada Research Chair (Tier II) (closing date: January 14, 2011)
Carleton Universitys Department of English, in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, invites applications for nomination for a Tier II Canada Research Chair (http://www.chairs.gc.ca/).
We seek an outstanding candidate whose research strengths intersect with the theoretical area which constitutes the central focus of our doctoral program, The Production of Literature: questions about what people understand by the idea of literature in different times and places, and why it matters; about who should have access to literature, either as readers or writers; about the power of literature to forge communities, and in doing so, to be a force for change; and about how these issues are mediated by the shaping influence of broader legal, technological, political, and social contexts. All historical and geographical areas are eligible. Candidates whose work frames these issues in terms of either New Digital Media or issues related to globalization are especially welcome. More information about our doctoral program can be found at: http://www.carleton.ca/ENGLISH/gradstudies/phd_program.html
This position is dependent upon final approval by the Canada Research Chair (CRC) program. The successful candidate will work with the University to submit a nomination for a Tier II Canada Research Chair in the spring 2011 competition. Tier II chairs are intended for recently established scholars (within 10 years of Ph.D.). The successful candidate must be eligible for SSHRC funding. Appointment is anticipated for January 1 or July 1, 2012 subject to approval of the nomination by the CRC program.
Applications, including a curriculum vitae and statements of teaching and research interests, should be emailed to paul_keen@carleton.ca. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent by email. Applications will not be considered complete until the letters are received. Initial screening of complete applications will begin on January 14, 2011 and continue until the applicant is chosen and has agreed to let his/her name stand.
