About Brock University
The Brock University experience is second to none in Canada. Located in historic
Niagara region, Brock offers all the benefits of a young and modern university
in a safe, community-minded city, with beautiful natural surroundings. With over
18,000 students and more than 100 undergraduate and graduate programs in seven
diverse Faculties, Brock excels at providing exceptional experiential learning
opportunities and highly rated student and campus life experiences.
Our Geography
Brock University's main campus is situated atop the Niagara Escarpment, within
a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, overlooking the city of St. Catharines, in the
heart of Niagara wine country. The Niagara region is dotted with landmarks that
recognize our nation's history and features breathtaking natural beauty and
world-famous attractions. St. Catharines is home to vibrant arts and
entertainment venues, and is a short drive from Toronto, Niagara Falls, and
Buffalo, New York. With one of the warmest climates in Canada, clean, safe
communities, and surprisingly affordable real estate, Niagara is an exceptional
location to call home.
What We Offer
Brock University offers a competitive salary and benefits and ample support for
research and sabbaticals. Research resources include: conference support, start-
up funding, subscriptions to major databases and access to various research
funding vehicles. For candidates considering relocation, moving expenses will
be administered according to the Faculty Association Collective Agreement.
About the Centre
The Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH) is a teaching and research academic unit
which focuses on the intersection of interactive technologies and the
Humanities. The Centre is home to Brock's Interactive Arts and Science (IASC)
program and the GAME program, the latter in partnership with the Department of
Computer Science and Niagara College. The CDH offers courses to Brock students
pursuing studies in a wide range of disciplines within and beyond the Faculty of
Humanities. The CDH facilities include collaborative production spaces,
multimedia teaching labs, and seminar rooms.
