The College of Liberal Arts at California Polytechnic State
University in San Luis Obispo, CA, seeks applications for a full-time
(academic year), tenure-track assistant professor in gender, race,
culture, science, and technology (GRCST) to begin September 15, 2014.
Candidates must demonstrate the ability/potential to collaborate
across disciplines and contribute to the curricular and scholarly
development of the interdisciplinary area of GRCST. Although
applications are sought from any traditional liberal arts discipline
(arts, communications, humanities, social sciences) or
interdisciplinary area, we are particularly interested in applicants
with backgrounds in or connections to anthropology, ethnic studies,
geography, philosophy, sociology, or women’s and gender studies.
Disciplinary expertise alone is not sufficient; that expertise must
intersect in meaningful ways with science and technology.

This is one of four, college-wide searches in the broad area of
science, technology, and society (STS), reflecting the college’s
commitment to integrating liberal arts disciplinary knowledge and
values into efforts to solve pressing contemporary problems while
preparing our students for future leadership roles in such efforts.
The four interdisciplinary, STS search areas are, in alphabetical
order, (1) ethics, public policy, science, and technology; (2)
gender, race, culture, science, and technology; (3) media arts,
society, and technology; and (4) science and risk communication.

Cal Poly operates on a teacher-scholar model in which faculty are
expected to be excellent teachers, produce scholarship in their
field(s) of interest, and provide service to the institution. The
typical teaching assignment is three, four-credit courses per
quarter. For this specific position, teaching and service assignments
will be divided between the interdisciplinary program in GRCST and
the new faculty member’s home department in proportions agreeable to
all parties. For applicants in philosophy, expertise in feminist
ethics and feminist social and political philosophy is required as is
an ability to teach introductory courses in the history of
philosophy. For applicants in Ethnic Studies or Women’s and Gender
Studies, the ability to teach ES/WGS 350 – Gender, Race, Science, and
Technology is required. A completed terminal degree (Ph.D., in most
disciplines) by the listed start date and evidence of successful
university teaching are required. Salary is commensurate with
qualifications and experience.

HOW TO APPLY: Interested applicants should complete the online
faculty application at www.CALPOLYJOBS.ORG and submit it to
Requisition #103079. Please upload the following required materials
as part of the electronic application: cover letter, current vitae,
transcript copy, teaching portfolio and evidence of teaching
effectiveness (with course syllabi and evaluations), and an
example(s) of scholarship. Applicants must also provide names and
email addresses for a minimum of three professional references when
completing the online application. Cal Poly will directly solicit
letters from the people listed by applicants. A transcript copy may
be attached to the above application or sent to the address listed
for Requisition #103079. Official sealed transcripts will be required
prior to appointment. Review of applications will begin on January 6,
2014, and continue until the position is filled. Completed
applications (all required materials submitted) received by the
REVIEW BEGIN DATE will receive full consideration.

Dear Members,

Members are invited to consider offering a general graduate student
professional development session for the CCGSE/CCÉDÉ during the 2014
CSSE Conference (http://brocku.ca/congress2014/). Topics for these
sessions might focus on, but are not limited to: Grant Writing for
Graduate Students; Job Search for Graduate Students; Mentorship and the
Graduate Student, and/or Publishing for Graduate Students.

In addition to these sessions, I invite CSSE Association and SIG
presidents to consider offering a discipline-specific panel session for
their graduate students during the 2014 CSSE Conference. These sessions
can be organized by the graduate student serving on respective
association/SIG Boards with ongoing assistance and support from myself
as CCGSE/CCÉDÉ Co-President.

Please contact me, Maryam Wagner, at maryam.wagner@mail.utoronto.ca
by*December 15, 2013* if you
would be willing to help organize a session related to one of the
above-mentioned topics.

With many thanks in advance for your support,

Maryam Wagner
CCGSE/CCÉDÉ Co-President, Director

Chers membres,

Nous incitons les membres à songer à offrir une séance de formation
professionnelle d’ordre général à l’intention des étudiants diplômés qui
participeront au congrès 2014 de la SCÉÉ. Divers sujets pourraient être
abordés, dont la rédaction d’une demande de subvention, la recherche
d’un emploi, le mentorat ainsi que la publication d’articles.

J’aimerais aussi inciter les présidents des associations et des GIS à
songer à offrir des tables rondes axées sur l’éducation à leurs
étudiants diplômés au cours du congrès 2014 de la SCÉÉ
(http://brocku.ca/congress2014/). Ces tables rondes peuvent être
organisées par un étudiant diplômé faisant partie du conseil
d’administration d’une association ou d’un GIP donné, lequel pourrait
compter sur mon aide en tant que coprésidente du CCÉDÉ.

Veuillez communiquer avec moi à _maryam.wagner@mail.utoronto.ca_ avant
le 15 Décembre, 2013 si vous désirez participer à l’organisation d’une
séance reliée à l’un des sujets mentionnés plus haut.

First Nations Education Initiative Inc. in New Brunswick has launched a new interactive website that will help First Nations students make informed PSE decisions. The site, PSE Helper (http://www.psehelper.ca/) , includes information about accessing scholarships and bursaries, monitors and reports on student and career events going on around the province, helps students and graduates find work in their field of study, and connects students with community elders. “The website was designed specifically for New Brunswick Mi’kmaq and Maliseet students, but we hope this format and service can be adapted to other First Nations communities and cultures across Canada,” says Bob Atwin, Executive Director of First Nations Education Initiative Inc. The NB government provided $45,000 in funding for the site.
