St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) is recognized as one of Canada’s best. A primarily undergraduate university of 4,500 students, the University’s focus is on the academic and personal development of every student, making community engagement a large part of the learning experience. A truly national university, over half of StFX’s students come from outside of the Maritimes.

The University is widely known for the quality of its academic programs, exceptional teaching and research across a range of disciplines, and the closeness and loyalty of its community. With the majority of the student body living in residence, StFX students thrive in a vibrant learning environment that nurtures the development of the whole person.

Proud of its storied history and its deep commitment to social justice, StFX is home to four Faculties, plus the Coady International Institute, the McKenna Centre for Leadership, and the newly opened Mulroney Institute of Government. Faculty rank among Canada’s top teachers and researchers and – through internships, service learning, research partnerships, and community outreach initiatives – both students and faculty play an active role in creating a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world.

StFX seeks a visionary, strategic, and collegial President to lead the University forward in its academic mission as it meets the evolving challenges of the 21st century, while celebrating the community spirit and values that have both engaged and inspired generations of alumni and friends.

The new President will take office in the summer of 2020, and consideration of candidates will begin in late October 2019.

Preference will be given to Canadian citizens or permanent residents. StFX respects diversity and welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, and members of sexual minority groups.
