Postdoctoral Fellowship - Racism, Whiteness, and Epistemic Oppression in the Canadian Academy

Led by Dr. Nathan Andrews (McMaster University), Dr. Malinda Smith (University of Calgary), Dr. Annie Duchesne, and myself (both at UNBC) we are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to explore racism, whiteness, and oppression in the Canadian academy. The PDF will work with an interdisciplinary team (political science, neuroscience, geoscience) and three research assistants to:

  1. expose hidden contributions of BIPOC scholars across social and natural sciences

  2. explore epistemological ramifications of racism and whiteness within science disciplines in Canada

  3. initiate interdisciplinary transformation through syllabi diversification workshops

The one-year salaried position (~35 hours/week) pays $50k, including 4% vacation pay and benefits, and there will be opportunities to develop and submit proposals to extend the position beyond one year. The fellow can be based at McMaster University, on either the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee and Mississauga (Hamilton, Ontario) or at UNBC on the traditional and unceded territory of the Lhedhli T’enneh (Prince George, British Columbia).

Application deadline is 14 September, and full details are given here.
