To help address historic underrepresentation within our institution, we are strongly encouraging applications from scholars who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or Persons of Colour. Applicants who choose to self-identify are invited to indicate this in their cover letter so the hiring committee can take this information into account. The selected candidate may be asked to confirm their self-identification during the hiring process.
