The School of Child and Youth Care (SCYC) will be joining the Faculty of Education in May 2025. SCYC is a vibrant and diverse academic unit dedicated to supporting child, youth, family, and community wellbeing through relevant, cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary scholarship; effective advocacy and leadership; high quality and innovative teaching; a strong and dedicated focus on practice; and a commitment to social justice in local, national and international contexts. We are committed to addressing the most pressing issues facing children, youth, and families today; we value and welcome theoretical frameworks and practice traditions that challenge exclusionary constructions of children, youth families, and communities. Student learning is a top priority; we recognize the importance of creating a culture of learning, mutual respect, and accountability that reflect the values of our field.

SCYC offers an undergraduate Bachelor of Child and Youth Care (BCYC) degree and graduate MA and PhD degrees in Child, Youth, Family and Community Studies. The BCYC undergraduate degree prepares students to work with children, youth, families, and communities in a wide range of practice settings (e.g., early childhood care and education; residential care; family support; parent education; youth justice; recreation; school-based child, youth, and family counselling; community mental health; child welfare; and child protection). Graduate programs prepare students to work as advanced practitioners, academics and leaders in human service organizations post-secondary institutions and community and government agencies and as researchers, trainers, policy leaders, consultants, administrators, and educators.

The faculty in SCYC has a history of receiving significant research and curriculum development grants and contracts, and leads and collaborates on local, national, and global projects. Faculty members in the SCYC come from a variety of disciplines including child and youth care; clinical and counseling psychology; sociology; education; political science; Indigenous studies; health and human services; anthropology of childhood; child and family studies; occupational science; and social work.

We seek candidates with a demonstrated commitment to implementing social justice, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and decolonizing approaches in research, practice, and education. We are particularly interested in candidates whose scholarship and teaching integrate critical theoretical frameworks (e.g., intersectionality theory, critical race theory, critical gender and sexuality studies, queer theory, critical disability studies, Indigenous studies and Indigenous ways of knowing, environmental studies, etc.).

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; if you are neither a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, please indicate if you are authorized to work in Canada, and be prepared to provide a copy of your permit authorizing same.
