Position Title: Indigenous Librarian
Organization: Toronto Metropolitan University
Application Deadline: March 15, 2026
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Located in downtown Toronto, the largest and most culturally diverse city in Canada and on the territory of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee and the Wendat Peoples, Toronto Metropolitan University Libraries invites applications for a full-time career stream (i.e. continuing) position of Indigenous Librarian at the rank of Librarian I or II, effective July 1, 2026, subject to final budgetary approval.
This position is restricted to candidates who self-identify in the Applicant Diversity Self-ID questionnaire in the recruitment portal as First Nations, Métis, Inuit peoples, or Indigenous peoples of North America. Indigenous hires for librarian positions at TMU are required to successfully complete an affirmation process. This process involves candidates providing relevant documentation to support the claim of Indigenous identity and participating in discussions with the University’s Indigenous Human Resources Lead in order to share relevant information about their lived experience.
Prioritizing Indigenous approaches to librarianship, the successful candidate will work in close collaboration with campus and community partners in advancing the Libraries’ strategic plan, and the University’s commitments to Indigenous teaching, learning, research and community. The successful candidate will help advance Indigenous Knowledge within library services and functions, including research methodologies, Indigenous data sovereignty, teaching and learning activities, information services, and collection development. This role will include subject liaison work; also, the role will be customized to an area or areas of library functional specialization as necessary, based on the incumbent’s knowledge, experience, and interest. Librarians actively contribute to providing research assistance through both in-person and virtual service points, and may occasionally be required to work non-standard hours, including weekends and evenings. Career Librarians are also expected to participate in library and university committees and engage in professional development and/or scholarly research and creative activities.
