U of Victoria position
Dear colleagues,
The Department of Pacific and Asian Studies in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Victoria is seeking applications for a faculty position at the Assistant Teaching Professor level, with an expected starting date of July 1, 2019. The initial appointment is for four years, with eligibility for a continuing appointment in accordance with the Collective Agreement between the University of Victoria and the University of Victoria Faculty Association.
We are seeking candidates with a record of excellence in teaching Chinese language at all levels – from beginner to advanced – in a college or university setting, and a commitment to supporting and developing our Chinese language program into the future. The program is taught in two streams, one for students starting without a working knowledge of Chinese, the other for those with native or heritage knowledge of the language. The successful candidate will be able to contribute to teaching in both streams. Applicants should have a demonstrated interest in pedagogical enquiry and teaching innovation, as well as in other teaching-related activities (e.g., pedagogical research, publication, conference participation, outreach). In addition to innovative teaching in Chinese, we are looking for someone who can speak to broader themes and issues in language and pedagogy pertinent across the Asia Pacific region and beyond. The position requires administrative, organizational, mentoring and leadership skills. Candidates must be able to work both independently and collaboratively with other instructors; they will also be expected to participate actively in departmental activities.
Successful candidates must have native-level fluency in Chinese and English, and should hold at least an MA in a discipline related to Chinese Studies, including but not limited to Modern or Premodern Chinese Literature and culture, Chinese Linguistics and Language Pedagogy; a PhD is preferred. Familiarity with new technologies in teaching and methods of assessment is desirable; the ability to teach courses in Chinese culture would also be an asset.
Applications should include a cover letter speaking to teaching experience and approach, a full CV, 2 sample course syllabi (1 introductory, 1 advanced), and evidence of teaching excellence (course evaluations, awards). Though not required, a link to a teaching demo video may optionally be included. Applicants should also arrange for three confidential letters of reference. All application materials, including letters of reference, should be submitted via email to paasapp at uvic.ca
The deadline for applications is November 2, 2018.
The Department of Pacific & Asian Studies (PAAS) is a dynamic, interdisciplinary Department within the Faculty of Humanities. It has particular strengths in Chinese and Japanese Studies, and a growing program in Southeast Asian Studies. PAAS offers a range of programmes at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and it is involved with a number of campus-wide initiatives, such as the Centre for Asia Pacific Initiatives.
Faculty and Librarians at the University of Victoria are governed by the provisions of the Collective Agreement. Members are represented by the University of Victoria Faculty Association (http://www.uvicfa.ca).
Persons with disabilities, who anticipate needing accommodations for any part of the application and hiring process, may contact Francesca Pintucci, in the Office of the VP Academic and Provost, at 250.472.5491 or via email at frconsultant at uvic.ca.  Any personal information provided will be maintained in confidence.
This position requires the candidate to produce a verification of degree(s), credential(s) or equivalencies from accredited institutions and/or international equivalents at the time of a site interview.
The University of Victoria is an equity employer and encourages applications from women, persons with disabilities, visible minorities, Aboriginal Peoples, people of all sexual orientations and genders, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of the University. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
