Position Title Part-Time Academic (POLI 2230.03: Municipal Law and City Politics in Canada) – Fall 2023
Posting Number PTAP1891P
Department/Unit Political Science
Location Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Job Summary & Key Responsibilities

Course description: Most Canadians live in cities, yet local government is the weakest unit in our federal system. What accounts for this? After all, local government has often been described as the foundation of democracy. In Canada, local governments have many unique characteristics, from their constitutional status to the council system and a tradition of non-partisan government. We will explore the character of local government and the issues related to local governance, including regional and metropolitan restructuring and citizen participation, municipal finance, provincial-local relations, and the role of the federal government.

The part-time academic will be responsible for all aspects of teaching and administering the class, including lectures, test preparation, Teaching Assistant supervision and evaluation. The position reports to the Chair of the Department.

Qualifications/Requirements of Position
Preference will be given to applicants with a PhD, or nearly completed PhD in Political Science. A Master’s Degree in Political Science or a related field may also be considered. Previous university-level teaching on this topic will be an asset.
Salary Range/Pay Rate Per CUPE Collective Agreement

All offers of employment as a Part-Time Academic are conditional upon sufficient student enrolment in the course and approval by the University.

Dalhousie University commits to achieving inclusive excellence through continually championing equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.
