University of Lethbridge - Two tenure track positions

The Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education invites applications for two probationary (tenure-track) positions at the level of Assistant Professor beginning 1 July 2007, subject to budgetary approval. Depending on experience and qualifications, an appointment may be made at the level of Associate Professor. A Ph.D. at or near completion is required, preferably in the Humanities/Socio-cultural area of Kinesiology.
