Kinàmàgawin – Learning Together
Located in Ottawa, Carleton University is situated within the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin people and supports First Nations, Métis and Inuit students from across Canada. We recognize our special responsibility to support the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
We are working towards long-term change through the 41 calls to action articulated in Kinàmàgawin, our Indigenous initiatives strategy. As part of this, several full-time faculty positions have been created as a step toward reconciliation.
We invite Indigenous candidates to join our team and help support Indigenous learners and bring Indigenous knowledge into classrooms.
Hiring Policy for Positions Limited to Indigenous (First Nation, Inuit and Métis) Candidates
The purpose of this Policy is to verify the Indigenous identity of applicants who apply for employment opportunities at Carleton that are reserved for Indigenous candidates. This verification and assessment process will maintain the integrity of Carleton’s hiring practices and will strengthen community connections, contribute to the safety of all Indigenous faculty, contract instructors and professional staff and increase collective knowledge in academia. The Policy is available on the University Policy website
