Territorial Acknowledgment: The University of New Brunswick recognizes and respectfully acknowledges that all UNB course interactions take place on the unsurrendered and unceded traditional lands of Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet). This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which the Wolastoqiyik, Mi'kmaq and Passamaquoddy peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Wolastoqey (Maliseet), Mi'kmaq and Passamaquoddy title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

Preference will be given to applicants who have a doctoral degree (or have made significant progress toward completion of their program) in Wabanaki Education, or a related field. The successful candidate will have knowledge of Wabanaki history, languages, traditions, worldviews, ancestral teachings, and ceremonies. The successful candidate will also have evidence of or demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching and will have demonstrated knowledge in the exploration of Wabanaki pedagogical practices. Some direct experience in First Nations community-based research is required. The appointee will need to establish links with various local First Nation communities' agencies and other colleagues working in this area. The preferred candidate will be a member of a Wabanaki First Nation community.

Responsibilities will include teaching at the undergraduate level in the Wabanaki Bachelor of Education program, service and research congruent with an Assistant Teaching Professor rank.

Deadline for applications is April 24, 2026. A letter of application, current curriculum vitae, a community engagement and responsibilities statement, a teaching through Wabanaki pedagogy statement and names of three referees (one may be from outside a university).
