Concordia University, Montreal (QC) -- Canada Research Chair in Oral History Performance
The Department of Theatre in the Faculty of Fine Arts at Concordia University invites applications for an Emerging (Tier 2) Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Oral History Performance.

We are seeking an emerging artist-researcher (within 10 years of receiving their terminal degree) with recognized expertise in oral history performance located within forms such as verbatim theatre, documentary theatre, storytelling, or other socially engaged performance creation. The ideal candidate will demonstrate the potential to establish a strong externally funded research program focused on building community research-creation partnerships and developing new ways to produce, document, evaluate and disseminate collaboratively produced oral history performance and knowledge. All subject areas are welcome, but we are particularly interested in candidates working with indigenous or diasporic communities. The ability to attract and mentor excellent graduate students is also essential.

This CRC will position Concordia as a world leader in oral history performance and performance-based inquiry more generally. The candidate will benefit from a formal strategic affiliation with the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS), a cross-faculty research unit at Concordia University that has emerged as a global leader in the interdisciplinary field of oral history and creative practice. The CRC will be expected to play a pivotal role in consolidating and extending the productive working relationships already in place between COHDS and the Faculty of Fine Arts pertaining to research that explores how theatrical forms can more fully involve community members in the exploration and communication of their own histories; and reciprocally, how investigation of a community’s past can bring depth and cultural continuity to the creative outputs of its members. The Faculty of Fine Arts boasts a strong research culture, fostering innovative work that engages with new technologies, traditional media and historical fine arts practices. In addition to ongoing collaborations between COHDS and faculty members in Theatre, Art Education, and Art History, the successful candidate will be positioned to develop their vision for the CRC through connections with Fine Arts faculty in nine departments, four research centres, and an unparalleled range of programs in the visual, performing, cinematic and digital arts.

 * The ad strongly resembles the research profile of their current VAP, for what it's worth.
 * Yes, I noticed this, too. However, the committee apparently is trying to attract applicants having posted the ad in at least three major job bank listings as well as distributing it on listservs. Perhaps the VAP is leaving or not "a good match"? Who knows.
 * I would avoid placing too much stock in an ad matching a VAP. It's quite common for the inside candidate not to get hired (I speak from experience). There are myriad reasons for why this happens. Certainly don't let this deter you from applying for any job. Committees want to attract the best candidates--it is in their best interests to do so, even if they have a good fit with a VAP or Lecturer.


 * I do know that the faculty is reaching out to colleagues in PhD programs and at other universities to try to attract candidates. I don't think they'd do that if it's a pro-forma search. And, as someone running another search with a possible "inside" candidate, I know that I'm ready and eager to take a look at the whole pool.
