Associate Professor or Professor

The Dalhousie University School of Information Management invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Associate Professor or Professor level (dependent upon qualifications and experience) commencing July 1, 2009 or after. The Faculty has a unique commitment to values-based management and interdisciplinary research and learning. We seek an additional colleague who will lead and thrive in this environment.

At the graduate level the School of Information Management offers 1) an onsite Master of Library and Information Studies (MLIS) accredited by the American Library Association, 2) Canada's first mid-career, cost-recovery Master of Information Management (MIM) designed for the public and private sectors available principally by distance, and 3) four combined graduate degrees (with Law, Business Administration, Public Administration, and Environmental Management). At the undergraduate level, the School of Information Management contributes to the interdisciplinary Bachelor of Management degree with the three additional schools in the Faculty of Management (Business Administration, Public Administration, and Resource and Environmental Studies). In addition, the School participates in Dalhousie University's Interdisciplinary PhD program and the institution-wide College of Sustainability.

The successful candidate will have:

  a.. a PhD in Knowledge Management, Library and Information Studies, or other pertinent field 
  b.. a strong research record, demonstrated by publications and grants, commensurate with experience and stage of career 
  c.. demonstrated success in teaching required, and experience with online delivery preferred 
  d.. professional experience will be an asset as the School of Information Management is a professional school 
The School of Information Management provides a dynamic and collegial environment. Further information about the School may be found at sim.management.dal.ca. The School's strategic goals, in addition to the new Master of Information Management launched in 2008, include participation in a Knowledge Management major in the Bachelor of Management program, continuous evolution of the MLIS, and development of additional research and teaching collaborations with colleagues across Dalhousie's Faculty of Management.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Dalhousie University is an employment equity/affirmative action employer. The University encourages applications from qualified Aboriginal people, persons with a disability, racially visible persons and women.

Applicants should send their letter, brief teaching portfolio, statement of research, and full curriculum vitae (including names and contact information for three referees, who will be contacted only for short-listed candidates) to:
