These positions will commence July 1st 2024 (or as soon as possible thereafter) and will be located at Acadia University in Wolfville, NS.

CBU and Acadia are partnering to implement a new Nursing Program at Acadia. Initially taking the form of a satellite program of CBU’s School of Nursing, the program will transition to a joint program in 2024-2025, with Acadia then applying for approval for a stand-alone program. We are looking to build our talent in our expanding Nursing Program and are searching for talented individuals who have real passion for making an impact in their field. Together, we are seeking progressive, energetic candidates with a commitment to excellence in teaching, scholarship, and research. The primary position responsibility will be to teach our concept-based curriculum to undergraduate nursing students. These positions are primarily located on campus at Acadia University.

Cape Breton University and Acadia University are strongly committed to fostering diversity within our community. We welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our staff, our faculty and its scholarship including, but not limited to, women, visible minorities, Indigenous peoples, African Nova Scotians, persons with disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity. Applicants are encouraged to self-identify in the online application form. Please note that all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply but applications from Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

Cape Breton University would like to acknowledge we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People, and we acknowledge them as the past, present, and future caretakers of this land. This land is covered by the Treaty of Peace and Friendship which was signed in 1726.
