Employer: University of Toronto
Deadline: January 15, 2024
Description:
The Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Resources at the University of Toronto invites applications for a full-time, teaching stream appointment in the field of Industrial Relations and Human Resources. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, with an expected start date of July 1, 2024.
Applicants must have earned a PhD degree in a field related to Industrial Relations or a cognate area in either the Humanities or Social Sciences, by the time of appointment or shortly thereafter, with a clearly demonstrated record of excellence in teaching. We seek a candidate who has an established record as an outstanding and innovative instructor and one who is enthusiastic about the opportunity to enjoy a long-term career in teaching at the University of Toronto. We seek candidates whose teaching interests complement and enhance our existing departmental strengths. We seek candidates with a demonstrated ability to teach on topics relating to industrial relations and human resources, but also more broadly with respect to the world of work, labour and organizations.
Candidates must have teaching experience in a degree-granting program, and/or postsecondary access program, including lecture preparation and delivery, curriculum development, and the development of online course materials and lectures. The successful applicant will teach undergraduate courses at the University of Toronto St. George campus and will also become a full member of the Graduate Centre CIRHR at the University of Toronto, undertaking graduate teaching in our professional master’s program at the St. George campus. Additionally, candidates must possess a demonstrated commitment to excellent pedagogical inquiry and demonstrated interest in teaching-related scholarly activities.
Evidence of excellence and innovation in teaching and a commitment to excellent pedagogical inquiry can be demonstrated through teaching accomplishments, awards and accolades, presentations at significant conferences, the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application (with required materials outlined below) as well as strong letters of references from referees of high standing.
Candidates are also expected to show evidence of a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment demonstrated through the application materials.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
All qualified candidates are invited to apply by clicking on the link below. Applications must submit a cover letter; curriculum vitae; writing sample; and a complete teaching dossier to include a strong teaching statement, sample syllabi and course materials and teaching evaluations. We seek candidates who value diversity and whose research, teaching and service bear out our commitment to equity. Candidates are therefore also asked to submit a 1‐2 page statement of contributions to equity and diversity, which might cover topics such as (but not limited to): research or teaching that incorporates a focus on underrepresented communities, the development of inclusive pedagogies, or the mentoring of students from underrepresented groups.
Applicants must provide the name and contact information of three references. The University of Toronto’s recruiting tool will automatically solicit and collect letters of reference from each referee the day after an application is submitted. Applicants, however, remain responsible for ensuring that referees submit letters (on letterhead, dated, and signed) by the closing date. At least one reference letter must primarily address the candidate’s teaching. More details on the automatic reference letter collection, including timelines, are available in the candidate FAQ.
Submission guidelines can be found at http://uoft.me/how-to-apply. Your CV and cover letter should be uploaded into the dedicated fields. Please combine additional application materials into one or two files in PDF/MS Word format. If you have any specific questions about this position, please contact the Centre Director, Professor Rafael Gomez at director.cirhr@utoronto.ca.
All application materials, including reference letters, must be received by 11:59 PM EST, Monday, January 15th, 2024. Only complete applications, including all application materials and reference letters, will be considered.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
