Data entry support for the Canadian Common CV

SSHRC, NSERC, along with CIHR and other agencies are now requiring a Canadian Common CV (CCV) for their grant applications. As it is a significant time investment to enter information into the CCV, the Office for Research, Innovation and Partnership is pleased to provide data entry assistance for researchers who do not currently have their CV in the Canadian Common CV format.

Please forward your current CV and an indication of which funding agency you will be applying to ORIP@uregina.ca.

Researchers intending to apply to the upcoming SSHRC Insight Development Grant competition are asked to provide these ASAP and no later than November 30, 2013.

Assistant Professor – Gender and Indigeneity (University of Toronto)

Tuesday, November 26th, 2013

The Women and Gender Studies Institute (WGSI) at the University of Toronto invites applications for a tenure-stream appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, with a focus on Gender and Indigeneity. The start date for the position will be July 1, 2014.
The successful candidate may work on Indigenous issues in a range of settings and geographical locations and will have an ability to set this work within a comparative and relational framework, with an understanding of Aboriginal/Indigenous issues in Canada strongly preferred. We are especially interested in intersectional research that grapples with gender, race, class, sexuality, religion and other important differences, research which draws on or is in conversation with critical transnational, diasporic, and post- and anti-colonial feminist scholarship. Candidates may apply from any disciplinary or interdisciplinary background. We particularly welcome applications from scholars with a commitment to community-based research and to working directly with Aboriginal/Indigenous communities, and an engagement with Indigenous methodologies, including storytelling and arts-based methodologies.
Applicants will have the opportunity to work closely with, and cross-list courses in, relevant affiliated departments, including Aboriginal Studies, but also African Studies, Canadian Studies, Caribbean Studies, Centre for the Study of the U.S., East Asian Studies, and/or Latin American Studies, as well as other departments.
