Recognizing that many women continue to face systemic obstacles in pursuing careers in STEM disciplines, this page has been developed by Carleton’s Women in STEM Working Group to showcase specific resources for women considering applying to a STEM-related academic opportunity.
Welcome
Maria DeRosa, Dean, Faculty of Science and Larry Kostiuk, Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Design
On behalf of Carleton University, we are thrilled to invite you to learn more about academic opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)! We welcome all qualified candidates for the academic appointment opportunities listed below. Recognizing that many women continue to face systemic obstacles in pursuing careers in STEM disciplines, we have developed this page to provide additional resources for women who may be considering applying to STEM-related academic opportunities at Carleton.
This page features some of the resources, programming and events that Carleton is pleased to host. For more information on these initiatives, we invite you to review the Faculty of Engineering and Design and Faculty of Science websites.
Sincerely,
Maria DeRosa, Dean, Faculty of Science
Larry Kostiuk, Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Design
Current Academic Opportunities in STEM Disciplines

A full list of all academic job opportunities across all Faculties and disciplines and Canada Research Chair opportunities is also available. Please note that these opportunities are open for all candidates to apply.
Carleton’s Commitment to EDI
Carleton has articulated its commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in the comprehensive EDI Action Plan that outlines ways to reimagine curricular and pedagogical practices, and commits to further enhancing student supports, research infrastructure, leadership development for academic and non-academic staff, organizational culture and more.
Carleton’s commitment to EDI is also demonstrated through the institution-wide calls to action outlined in Kinàmàgawin, our revitalized Indigenous strategy. Carleton has also endorsed the Dimensions Charter and signed the Scarborough Charter on Anti-Black Racism and Black Inclusion and the UN International Decade for People of African Descent.
In 2020, Prof. Rowan Thomson was appointed as the Assistant Dean, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the Faculty of Science to continue building on various initiatives to foster awareness, build collaborations and spark engagement to enhance EDI in Science.
STEM Resources and Programs
Supported by 20 industry and government partners, Carleton’s Women in Engineering and IT (WiE&IT) program is a unique program that aims to help close the gender gap in STEM.
The Faculty of Science collaborates on concrete and sustained actions to address the historical and persistent challenges to equity, diversity and inclusion in Science.
Carleton offers teaching and research support for academics through Teaching and Learning Services and the Carleton Office for Research Initiatives and Services.
Additional Resources
Virtual Ventures is a not-for-profit organization run under Carleton’s Faculty of Engineering and Design. It offers nationally recognized technology and engineering programs for youth who have completed junior kindergarten to grade 12, such as Go Eng Girl and Go Code Girl, which provide unique opportunities for female students to learn about careers in the exciting field of engineering and coding and software development.
Carleton’s Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) chapter is part of a global movement that encourages and supports women in STEM. Their mission is to help younger generations to learn about STEM; inspire members through mentorships, workshops and other programming; and support members through social events to help achieve a healthy lifestyle.- The Faculty of Science has established a new junior faculty mentoring program, which includes mentors, training and an active Slack channel.
