Description:

Applicants must have earned a PhD in Social-Cultural Anthropology or a related area by the time of the appointment, or shortly thereafter, with a demonstrated record of excellence in teaching. We seek candidates whose teaching interests complement and enhance existing departmental strengths (https://anthropology.utoronto.ca/). Candidates must have teaching expertise in a degree granting program at the undergraduate level, including lecture preparation and delivery, curriculum development, and development of online material/lectures. Additionally, candidates must possess a demonstrated commitment to excellent pedagogical practices and a demonstrated interest in teaching-related scholarly activities. Candidates must be able to demonstrate experience teaching large introductory courses in social-cultural and linguistic and/or medical anthropology. Regional focus is open, but expertise in Indigenous North America or Africa and the African Diaspora, and digital ethnographic methods, is preferred. In addition to instructing large introductory courses, they will have the opportunity to offer upper-level courses in their area of expertise.

As part of the application, candidates must provide evidence of excellence in teaching and pedagogical inquiry by submitting a teaching dossier that includes a statement of teaching philosophy and any pedagogical training received, sample course materials, and teaching evaluations, as well as three strong letters of reference 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 online by clicking the link below. Applicants must submit a cover letter, a current curriculum vitae, and a teaching dossier as outlined above.

Applicants must provide the name and contact information of three referees. Applicants must arrange to have three letters of reference sent directly by the referee to the hiring unit via email at anthro.officeofthechair@utoronto.ca by the closing date (on letterhead, dated, and signed). PLEASE NOTE: This search is not using the University’s automatic solicitation and collection functionality for reference letters.

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. We seek candidates who value diversity and whose 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): teaching that incorporates a focus on underrepresented communities, the development of inclusive pedagogies, or the mentoring of students from underrepresented groups.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://uoft.me/how-to-apply. If you have any questions about this position, please contact Ms. Juliana Gomes, Assistant to the Chair at anthro.officeofthechair@utoronto.ca.

All application materials, including reference letters, must be received by February 22, 2021.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
