Professional information management experience will be an asset. The successful candidate will have a PhD (completed or near completion) in information management or a related

offers two graduate programs: the American Library Association-accredited Master of Information (MI) program, and the mid-career blended learning Master of Information Management (MIM) program. At the undergraduate level, the School provides core and elective
courses in the Bachelor of Management program, delivered collaboratively with the three other schools in the Faculty of Management. The School also participates in Dalhousie’s Interdisciplinary PhD program and is developing a PhD in Information. The SIM is part of the interdisciplinary Faculty of Management (http://www.dal.ca/faculty/management.html),
which also includes the School of Public Administration, the School for Resource and Environmental Studies, and the Rowe School of Business. The Faculty of Management’s mission is to offer people a world-class set of management skills and experiences that
organizations value and prepare them to work with, inspire and lead others to tackle complex challenges and achieve responsible results. A commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and decolonization is among our core values. We seek an additional
colleague who will contribute to, and thrive in, this environment. Dalhousie University (http://www.dal.ca/)
