With its dedication to teaching excellence, informed by scholarly research, innovation, and creative activity, MacEwan provides an exceptional collaborative and supportive learning environment with a commitment to human rights, environmental sustainability, and opportunities for community engagement. We are committed to creating an equitable, diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community for all peoples, cultures, and identities.

The Department of Arts and Cultural Management in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications invites applications for a full-time tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing July 1, 2024, subject to final budgetary approval. You will play an important role in the implementation of a BFA in Arts and Cultural Management and may have opportunities for interdisciplinary teaching within the Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications. The Department of Arts and Cultural Management focuses on preparing individuals to work in the arts and cultural sector; to manage their own careers as artists, arts/culture-sector entrepreneurs; or to take on careers in organizations such as community arts hubs, art galleries, theatres, dance produces, museums, cultural sector funding bodies, music collectives, festivals, literary and spoken word poetry events, and those within the film industry. In addition to their academic studies, students have the opportunity to develop skills through experiential learning, including work-integrated learning placements, projects with organizations in the field, and international exchanges. 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. You 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 and an ongoing research program. (A credential near completion, in conjunction with a strong record of relevant experience and post-secondary teaching, may also be considered.) A record of professional or scholarly dissemination is a valuable asset; clear promise of excellence in research and/or creative practice is essential. In addition to experience working with a range of facets of the arts and cultural sector, teaching experience in a post-secondary environment, and strong interpersonal and communication skills, you will have a commitment to innovative pedagogy, particularly in online learning, and an interest in interdisciplinary arts and cultural practices. Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching dossier (including recent teaching evaluations), statement of research interests, and sample of scholarly work. Questions about this opportunity may be addressed to Iain Macpherson, Interim Chair, Department of Arts and Cultural Management at [email protected], Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
