Algoma University is committed to undoing systemic and institutional discrimination and being
publicly transparent and accountable. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to our
Special Mission. In keeping with the Seven Grandfather teachings that are the core values that
inform our decisions as an institution, we are committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive,
respectful, and safe environment where everyone belongs. These values, commitments, and
practices are highlighted in our institutional strategies, including the Strategic Plan; Academic
Plan; Research Plan, and EDI Plan. We live these values through the strength and richness that
diversity brings to our workforce and welcome contributors from equity-deserving groups
including Indigenous Peoples, Black and racialized persons, women, Persons with Disabilities, 2
Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer persons.

In alignment with Algoma University’s commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, the
University’s EDI mandate, provisions provided for by the Ontario Human Rights Commission,
and to address Algoma University’s current under-representation of equity-deserving groups
among Algoma University faculty, this opportunity is open to qualified individuals who self-
identify as part of an equity deserving group (Indigenous Peoples, Black and racialized persons,
women, Persons with Disabilities, 2 Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer
persons). This is an important step in our efforts to close persistent equity gaps.
Algoma University (www.algomau.ca) is a rapidly growing and innovative institution that
embraces research, scholarship, and teaching to pursue its Special Mission. The Special
Mission is founded upon cross-cultural learning between Indigenous and other communities
within a spirit of healing and reconciliation. Algoma University’s four faculties — Business and
Economics, Cross-Cultural Studies, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Science — provide
students with rich experiential learning opportunities across all of its campuses in Brampton,
Sault Ste. Marie and Timmins. With a newly approved Strategic Research and Creative Works
plan, Algoma will enhance its research capacity through community engaged partnerships and
ongoing development of graduate programming. We welcome those interested in this exciting
time of growth!
