Dodson Visiting Professor of
Archival Studies 

Deadline: March 1, 2014 

The University of British
Columbia holds an international reputation for excellence in advanced
research and learning. It is located in Vancouver, Canada, one of the
world's most beautiful and culturally diverse cities. The School of
Library, Archival and Information Studies (SLAIS), the iSchool at UBC,
is pleased to invite applications for the Dodson Visiting Professorship
named in honour of Suzanne and Earl Dodson. 

This is a competitive
position that provides funds to enable the successful candidate to spend
an extended period of time, normally an academic term, engaged in
research and teaching with the iSchool and UBC Community. Academics at
all levels from all countries are encouraged to apply. Applicants will
normally hold a doctoral degree, and currently be employed in an
institution of higher education. 

This year's call is for a Visiting
Professor in Archival Studies, who will bring expertise and an active
record of scholarship in archival studies, intended as a broad area of
research covering all different aspects related to creation, management
and preservation of documents. Preference will be given to candidates
who have a proven track record of high quality research and experience
in teaching and mentorship. This is an opportunity to work with
well-known senior scholars at the iSchool as well as an outstanding
group of junior faculty members active in areas such as digital
diplomatics, digital records forensics, records management, visual
analytics, and information risk management. While all applications will
be considered, preference will be given to candidates whose research
interests align with those of one or more faculty members within the
iSchool. 

This Visiting Professorship offers the opportunity to
interact with the talented and engaged students in the MAS Program by
teaching up to two courses. The Professor will be fully integrated into
the research culture at the iSchool and will be expected to attend
research talks and events, interact with doctoral students and present
his or her research at a colloquium, open to members of the iSchool and
the community. 

The Dodson Visiting Professorship funds this position
for one term in the amount of $15,000, which can be supplemented through
teaching (up to two 3-credit courses) to reach $30,000.
