Full job description

This position has a term length from September 1 to December 31, 2026.

Location - This role is hybrid with a mix of remote and in-person. Work primarily takes place at North Campus, Edmonton.

Working for the Centre for Teaching and Learning

The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) supports instructors in creating engaging, inclusive, and effective learning experiences for students. As the university’s centre of expertise in teaching and learning, CTL provides hands-on programming, expert consultation, and institutional leadership that enhance teaching quality and student success across all disciplines.

CTL’s Commitment to Indigenizing and Decolonizing Teaching

At CTL, work related to teaching and learning must include Indigenous voices, perspectives, and ways of knowing, being, and doing. It also requires critical examination of the colonial structures and Eurocentric assumptions that continue to shape curriculum, assessment, and teaching practices. Through this work, CTL supports instructors and academic leaders not only in adding content but in rethinking the frameworks, relationships, and practices that shape student learning.

Position Summary

The Centre for Teaching and Learning is seeking an Indigenous graduate student for a 12-hour/week Graduate Teaching Assistant position supporting institutional initiatives related to Indigenizing and decolonizing teaching and learning.

Reporting to an Assistant Director and working closely with the Senior Consultant (Indigenous Pedagogies and Curricula) and the CTL Elder, the successful candidate will contribute to the development of educational resources, support instructor programming, and assist with initiatives that foster respectful, relational, and reflective approaches to Indigenous engagement in post-secondary teaching and learning.

The role involves both educational development work and relational support for programming grounded in Indigenous perspectives and community-informed practices. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to meaningful institutional work while gaining experience in educational development, facilitation, curriculum support, and Indigenous-informed approaches to teaching and learning in a post-secondary environment.

The successful candidate will work in a collaborative and supportive environment and will gain experience in educational development, facilitation, Indigenous-informed teaching and learning, and institutional initiatives in post-secondary education.

Some hours will be fixed to support scheduled programming, weekly check-ins, and CTL Elder visits. Remaining hours will be discussed with the successful candidate and, where possible, arranged around their course and research schedule.
