The University of Washington’s Information School (iSchool) is seeking two candidates for the position of a full-time 9-month appointment at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor in Native North American Indigenous Knowledge, commensurate with experience and qualifications, with an anticipated start date of September 1, 2022. The iSchool is located in Seattle, Washington, on the homelands of the Coast Salish peoples whose land touches the shared waters of all tribes and bands within the Suquamish, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot nations.
 
The successful applicant will be expected to employ Indigenous research methodologies; will be expected to work with qualitative, quantitative, mixed and/or design methods, and will be expected to mentor undergraduate and graduate students from diverse backgrounds.
 
The iSchool has spent the past 20 years building the Native North American Indigenous Knowledge (NNAIK) Program, whose current faculty represent a broad range of research areas, from Indigenous librarianship to museology to tribal water security. Their collective research centers the protection and advancement of Indigenous Knowledge Systems among AIAN. The NNAIK faculty teach across four of the iSchool’s degree programs: Bachelor of Science in Informatics, Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS), Master of Information Management (MSIM), and Doctor of Philosophy in Information Science (PhD).
 
The iSchool is also home of the iNative research group which seeks to raise the level of discourse concerning information and Native American communities through an Indigenous Knowledge lens and with a focus on social justice. Working as co-creators, members of iNative analyze the institutions, community practices, philosophies and policies around knowledge, information and technology in support of tribal sovereignty and Indigenous empowerment.

The NAISA logo was designed by Jonathan Thunder, a Red Lake Ojibwe painter and digital artist from Minnesota. NAISA members inspired by canoe traditions among their own people sent examples to Thunder, who designed the logo with advice from the NAISA Council. The color scheme was chosen to signify those Indigenous peoples who are more land-based and do not have canoe traditions.
