Located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Anishinabe-Algonquin people, near the Kichi Sìbi river, the University of Ottawa is seeking candidates for a Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Indigenous Knowledge and Practices for Social Work Training. The University of Ottawa provides researchers with opportunities to develop partnerships with members of the Algonquin community and with a range of institutions, community organizations, and federal agencies. The University’s downtown campus is located near various Indigenous cultural and governance organizations, including the Native Women's Association of Canada , Métis Nation al Council, the Assembly of First Nations , Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami , and several Indigenous service providers. The University is seeking candidates who are Indigenous researchers (First Nation, Inuit or Métis ) who have a deep knowledge of indigeneity and significant experience in the social sciences, humanities, or education.  The research program undertaken by the Chair will result in a rethink of the teaching approaches and operations of social work programs and institutions in order to harmonize them, from a cultural perspective, based on traditional knowledge, values and teachings. Such transformations aim to enrich the training of future social workers by emphasizing interventions that support indigenous knowledge, values, and culture in order to directly enhance the health and well-being of Indigenous children, families, and communities. Rooted in local, regional, and/or national research partnerships with Indigenous communities and the organizations that serve them, this CRC will produce practical and theoretical knowledge about the lived experiences of Indigenous peoples that is both disciplinary and multi-disciplinary in nature. The Chair will implement a creative and independent research program that is based on external research funding.   Tier 2 CRC program description Tier 2 Chairs , tenable for five years and renewable once, are for exceptional emerging researchers , acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field. For each Tier 2 Chair, the institution receives $100,000 annually for five years, with an additional $20,000 annual research stipend for first-term Tier 2 Chairs. Candidates should, at a minimum, be assistant or associate professors, or possess the necessary qualifications to be appointed to these levels. Candidates who are more than 10 years from their highest degree must contact the University of Ottawa directly for questions related to their potential eligibility for a Tier 2 Chair. The institution may nominate a professor or a researcher who is more than 10 years from their highest degree at the time of nomination and has experienced legitimate career interruptions (see acceptable justifications ). In such cases, the institution must submit to the Secretariat a formal justification (using the Tier 2 Justification Screening Form ), explaining why the nominee is still considered to be an emerging scholar. The University recognizes the legitimate impact that leaves (e.g., parental leave, leave due to illness) can have on a candidate’s record of research achievement and that these leaves will be taken into careful consideration during the assessment process. New CRC nominees are also eligible for infrastructure support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to help acquire state-of-the-art equipment essential to their work.    Self-Declaration Form : In accordance with the University’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan , the selection will be limited to First Nations, Inuit and Métis scholars. Candidates from this group who wish to be considered for this position must complete the following self-declaration form: https://research.uottawa.ca/sites/research.uottawa.ca/files/edi_questionnaire_ovpr_for_prizes_en_24-oct-2018-converted_fillable.pdf The objective of this measure is to increase the representation of the four designated groups in the allocation of Canada Research Chair positions.   Rank and salary : Regular tenure-track academic appointment in the Faculty of Social Sciences . This position is governed by a collective agreement between the University of Ottawa and  the Association of Professors of the University of Ottawa.
