Assistant Professor - MacEwan University

The Arts and Cultural Management (AACM) program in the Faculty of Fine Arts and
Communications invites applications for a full-time probationary appointment at the rank of
Assistant Professor, commencing July 1, 2015 and subject to final budgetary approval.
AACM focuses on preparing individuals for careers working with a wide variety of artists
and nonprofit arts organizations. Students are given opportunities to learn and develop
skills through experiential learning, internships and special projects with organizations of all
types. One of the first arts management programs in Canada, MacEwan’s Arts and
Cultural Management program attracts students from across the country in both its
classroom and online cohorts.

Candidates will hold a minimum of a Master’s degree in arts management or a related
discipline and will demonstrate a primary commitment to undergraduate teaching with an
ongoing interest in research in the discipline. The successful candidate will possess
significant experience in arts management, teaching experience in a post-secondary
environment and strong interpersonal and communication skills. Because this new faculty
position will play an important role in planned changes to the Arts and Cultural
Management program, the ability to form and lead collaborative teams, a commitment to
innovative pedagogy (including online learning) and experience with curriculum
development is also highly desirable.

MacEwan University inspires students through a powerful combination of academic
excellence and personal learning experiences. With a main campus located in culturally
rich, downtown Edmonton, our comprehensive undergraduate university offers over 65
programs to approximately 12,000 students. Construction is currently underway on a new
Centre for Arts and Culture slated to open in 2017. With a dedication to teaching excellence
informed by scholarly research and creative activity, MacEwan provides an exceptional
collaborative and supportive learning environment with a commitment to environmental
sustainability and opportunities for community engagement. In support of faculty
professional development, unique and enhanced services are provided through the Centre
for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence (CAFÉ).

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching dossier (including recent
teaching evaluations), statement of research interests and a sample of scholarly work along
with the names and contact information of three referees (along with the competition
number) to careers@macewan.ca.
