Job ID: 29877 Location: Main Campus

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.

Position Description The Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary invites applications for a tenure-track transdisciplinary position with a focus on Learning through Emerging Digital Technologies at the rank of Assistant Professor (Teaching and Research). The successful candidate will be provided a five-year research-intensive term with reduced teaching commitments and initial research funding.

As part of the broader University of Calgary transdisciplinary recruitment program, 20 academic positions have been created to build capacity and provide leadership in support of the Ahead of Tomorrow Strategic plan. These scholars see challenges as opportunities that spark our singular mission – to dare to imagine ahead of tomorrow.

We live in an ever-changing educational landscape, influenced by emerging digital technologies, as evidenced by the necessity to consider alternative learning during the pandemic. The post pandemic world requires educators to be responsive to the changing expectations of the nature of student learning experiences with greater emphasis on digital learning environments. Pedagogical changes need to occur to support the design and implementation of robust learning.

The need to think about the creative and disruptive impacts of learning and assessment have significant implications for equity, diversity, and inclusion within a digital age.  On the one hand, students from equity deserving groups may be disproportionately targeted for academic misconduct related to the inappropriate use of emerging technologies.  On the other, the creative possibilities for increased access as a learning support for students with neurodevelopmental disabilities suggests the potential for creative possibilities for how to embed appropriate uses of AI in formal and informal learning environments.

This position will draw together thought leaders and scholars to optimize impact by applying technologies across all disciplines in support of robust student learning. Additionally, this position will lead in examining how to scale emerging immersive technologies beyond small-scale labs toward education systems and unstructured learning environments.

The appointments will commence July 1, 2024, or at a mutually agreeable date.

We are seeking a scholar who will build a collaborative, critical mass, and provide leadership within the Werklund School and University of Calgary more broadly and position the institution both as a national and global leader in the ethical use of emerging technologies in pedagogy and assessment.

We are seeking a scholar with an active research program who demonstrates leadership in immersive learning with digital technologies (e.g., AR/VR) and will bring together knowledge, pedagogies, and methodologies in sciences, technology, and education. The successful candidate will interconnect with other faculties given the transdisciplinary focus of the research and will work collaboratively with colleagues to develop and conduct research that is relevant, impactful, and innovative. Their research program may involve conducting research on 1) Investigating the impact of student learning in immersive technology learning environments and/or the use of AI in K-12 schools and post-secondary; 2) designing and implementing immersive learning within classroom settings that are beyond VR labs or in small research contexts; and 3) examining the sustainability of immersive learning and/or AI in K-25 educational contexts.

In addition to maintaining an active funded research program, the successful candidate will be expected to supervise graduate and/or undergraduate students, teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses in their areas of specialization and demonstrate leadership in service, collaboration, and mentorship within the University and the community.  As well, the successful candidate will be expected to engage actively with K-12 communities.

The successful candidate at the Assistant Professor (Teaching and Research) level must demonstrate evidence of a track record of publications in high quality journals, securing external research funding, and effectiveness in teaching at the university level.

The position provides an opportunity to establish a vigorous, sustainable, externally funded research program in the area of learning through emerging digital technologies, contribute to teaching and student supervision, and participate in leadership of related research, education, and service. This is an excellent opportunity to build and develop an innovative research program within a dynamic and collaborative environment. A competitive salary and an attractive start-up package will be provided.

The successful applicant will have:

• A doctorate in Education (or related discipline);
• A strong record of research and knowledge mobilization (commensurate with rank);
• A proven ability to obtain research funding commensurate with rank;
• Demonstrated capability in graduate-level teaching, graduate student supervision;
• Demonstrated capability in teaching in areas of discipline;
• Experience in online teaching; and,
• Engagement with local, national, and international professional and other communities (commensurate with rank).

• Statement outlining a proposed innovative research program,
• Statement outlining post-secondary teaching and leadership experience,
• Evidence of collaboration/engagement with professional and other communities
• Brief description of present and aspiring contributions to the field,

The University Center for Human Values invites applications for Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellowships for academic year 2024-25. Fellows devote an academic year in residence to research and writing about topics involving human values in public and private life. This full-time visiting program is open to scholars in all disciplines across the humanities and social sciences. For 2024-25, the Center's designated research theme is Criminal Justice, but scholars need not work on Criminal Justice to apply. We anticipate that roughly half of the fellowships awarded for 2024-25 will fall within the research theme, and welcome applications for research projects in any area of human values, broadly defined. We welcome applications from scholars from a variety of disciplines for both our theme and non-theme fellowships.

For those proposing research on the theme of Criminal Justice, we are especially interested in research which may critically analyze underlying values in the philosophy and practice of criminal justice; evaluate institutional formations and policy proposals in light of those values; and explore the roles played by race, ethnicity, gender, and other factors in the differential ways that criminal justice is conceived and carried out in specific contexts.

For thematically relevant applications, please state this explicitly and describe the relevance of the research to the theme. In assessing each application, we look for the potential of applicants to contribute to and benefit from a research community that draws together scholars who work in and across different disciplines.

Fellows are expected to reside in or around Princeton or demonstrate to the program's satisfaction the ability to be on campus daily and on short notice. Fellows are expected to pursue their own research and to be active contributors to the intellectual life of UCHV. This includes participating in a weekly seminar to discuss work in progress. Candidates must have a doctorate or equivalent professional degree and a strong record of research publications appropriate to their career stage. Typically, Fellows hold faculty positions at other universities or colleges; in exceptional cases we consider applications from independent scholars when there is a high level of scholarly achievement. This is not a postdoctoral fellowship program and we do not generally consider candidates who will have held the Ph.D. for less than two years at the time of appointment.

The fellowship typically extends from September 1 to June 1. Fellows receive a stipend paid in nine equal installments. Ordinarily, home institutions provide a portion of their salaries in addition to benefits, although this is not a requirement. Independent scholars are eligible to apply.

Main considerations are the following:

*The significance of the proposed research and its relevance to the purposes of the University Center for Human Values

*The quality of a candidate's previous research and the contribution the candidate is likely to make in the future

*The likelihood that the research would benefit from being conducted at UCHV

*Where applicable, the relevance of the application to the Center's designated research theme

HOW TO APPLY

Candidates must submit an online application at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/30681.

Required materials:

1.  A CV

2.  A scholarly paper (no more than 12,000 words) written in the past three years

3.  A statement (no more than 1,500 words) describing the proposed project. Describe the project's relevance to the research theme where applicable

4.  Contact information for three referees, including one who was not a graduate advisor (note, the priority deadline for letters of reference only is Thursday, October 26, 2023; all other applicant materials must be submitted by the earlier deadline stated below). Referees will be contacted directly

Applicant materials must be submitted by: Thursday, October 19, 2023, 11:59 p.m. EST. Decisions expected by late March 2024.

Princeton University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
