Established in 1841, Queen’s University is among the most respected universities in Canada.

Queen’s is a research-intensive university which offers a wide variety of post-secondary programs in the Faculties of Applied Science, Arts and Science, Education, Health Sciences, and Law, and in the Schools of Business and Graduate Studies and Research, providing an outstanding educational environment for its approximately 1,000 faculty members, 2,200 staff and 17,000 full-time students. Situated on the shore of Lake Ontario, in Kingston, the University offers stimulating intellectual, cultural, and professional opportunities in a truly spectacular setting.

The Associate Vice-Principal (Faculty Relations) assumes primary responsibility for effective academic labour relations. Acting as the key liaison between the Vice-Principal (Academic) and the Queen’s University Faculty Association, the Associate Vice-Principal will manage all aspects of contract administration, collective bargaining and dispute resolution. The position reports to the Vice-Principal (Academic) with a strong functional relationship with the Vice-Principal (Human Resources). Essential skills are those critical to effective labour relationships – negotiation, dispute resolution, listening, and the capacity to understand, assimilate and reconcile disparate and complex situations and perspectives.

University experience would be ideal, but demonstrated success in an equally complex environment would be well suited. A university degree in Law, Policy or Business Studies, or Labour Relations is required to be successful in this role.
