The Department of Humanities in the Faculty of Arts and Science at MacEwan University invites applications for a full-time probationary appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing July 1, 2016, subject to final budgetary approval.

The Department is looking for an expert in late antiquity or the medieval world, who has teaching competence in both of these areas and is, accordingly, capable of teaching both classics and history courses. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated record of integrating digital technology in teaching, research, and the dissemination of research. Although all specializations fitting the above criteria will be considered, the ideal candidate will be a cultural historian specializing in religion or art.

Preferred candidates will hold a Ph.D. in a relevant area of expertise and will demonstrate a primary commitment to undergraduate teaching and an ongoing research program.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
