The Candidate 

We seek a scholar who engages with research in the fields of literary studies, translation studies and creative writing, and integrates these fields through an interdisciplinary lens. The ideal candidate must understand literary translation and creative writing as dynamically linked fields: translation is an art form, and the practitioners of translation often are themselves practicing creative writers. The practice of writing frequently thrives on difference; translation brings different literary traditions, languages, and cultures into contact, energizing creative practice. The candidate will be versed in literary translation and/or translation studies, which inquire into the philosophy, practice, and methods of translation as well as the intertwined meanings, histories, as well as complexities of linguistic and cultural intersections the practice implies and engenders. 

Qualifications 

Successful candidates should have: 

  • a Ph.D. within 10 years* in comparative literature, translation studies, Indigenous studies, literature studies in English and other languages, anthropology, or a related field (Candidates with a Ph.D. in a creative field are expected to have a research portfolio including peer-reviewed academic publications in a related field.). 

*This is typically based on the nominee's first highest degree. Nominees who are more than 10 years from their first highest degree may still be eligible if they have experienced career interruptions. This will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 

  • demonstrated proficiency in one or more languages other than English in their scholarly and/or creative writing work (the committee would welcome a demonstration of the candidate's interlingual practice). 

  • demonstrated record of high-quality research commensurate with rank (which includes literary translations), shared through a wide range of outlets influential in the field (e.g. scholarly journals; community-based projects; forms of community engagement, such as research centers; partnership with local nations and communities, etc.).  

  • a strong research program and projects for future publications. 

  • demonstrated record of obtaining grants for scholarly, creative and literary projects. 

  • demonstrated record of creating a learning environment that supports diverse populations and perspectives, and a commitment to creating inclusive learning experiences through non-discriminatory approaches to teaching, curriculum and assessment. 

  • experience in developing and implementing curriculum. 

  • demonstrated ability and commitment to mentoring, including marginalized students; and potential to attract, develop and retain trainees, students and future researchers. 

  • demonstrated ability to work collegially and collaboratively across disciplines and units. 

  • experience in supporting and advancing inclusivity on campus; appreciative of and responsive to diverse perspectives. 

Duties 

The successful applicant will be expected to engage in innovative research at the intersection of literary studies, translation theory and practice, and creative writing studies. The successful candidate will teach in both the Departments of World Languages and Literatures and English at the undergraduate and graduate level in areas such as: literary studies, translation theory and practice, and/or creative writing studies, and related fields. As a CRC Tier 2 holder, the Chair will be expected to train and supervise graduate students, as well as mentor junior faculty members. The candidate will build relationships with external community partners, and assume a leadership role that bridges research strengths, and knowledge mobilization. Finally, it is expected that the successful candidate will contribute to the Department, Faculty, University, and the academic community by participating in collegial governance. 

This Chair will advance the priorities of both departments by leading research and curricular projects in translation, world literatures and creative writing. Promoting these goals within and across departments will address SFU鈥檚 strategic priority areas of 鈥渟upporting health and wellness of individuals, populations and communities鈥 (Strategic area #2) by enhancing 鈥渕utual, respectful and empathetic processes of knowledge production.鈥 The Chair鈥檚 interdisciplinary focus on the creative processes of international contact and transfer of literary texts and ideas will, furthermore, contribute to enhancing 鈥渄emocracy, justice, equity and social responsibilities鈥 (Strategic area #4) by fostering 鈥渄ialogue and relationship building鈥 within and beyond our departments, the Faculty, and the university.
