The University of British Columbia’s Geoscience Education Research team
invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow. We seek an outgoing and
creative researcher who is motivated to respond to UBC’s Indigenous
Strategic Plan’s call to action that asks students to situate their
learning and disciplinary work in a context of (TRC), so that “any student
should walk out of their graduating ceremony with an understanding of this
past, and an appreciation of Indigenous peoples” (ISP Engagement
Participant in Goal 4). As the UBC community works towards respectfully
incorporating Indigenous histories, perspectives, or ways of knowing into
courses and other co-curricular learning experiences, how will we know if
specific efforts are making a difference? This project aims to develop and
pilot a toolkit (survey and interview protocol) that instructors, graduate
student supervisors, and administrators could use to assess student
perceptions and articulation of the relationship between Indigenous topics
(histories, contemporary perspectives, and/or ways of knowing) and their
program of study.

We will support the person selected for this position in developing and
piloting these new instruments with students majoring in science, as well
as continued directions of study in the areas of student learning, JEDI,
Indigenous-related topics, and/or institutional change models. The
implications of this work are important to UBC’s Indigenous Strategic Plan,
and Universities and communities across Canada, the US, and Australia. The
successful candidate will work closely with project leaders Dr. Laura Lukes
and Dr. Shandin Pete. The post-doc will have the opportunity to collaborate
with staff from UBC’s Centre for Teaching and Learning Technology,
Skylight, IRSI, and student researchers and could also work in
collaboration with others in EOAS if desired.
