Additionally, candidates must possess a demonstrated commitment to excellent pedagogical practices and a demonstrated interest in teaching-related scholarly activities.

Evidence of excellence in teaching and a commitment to excellent pedagogical inquiry can be demonstrated through teaching accomplishments, awards and accolades, and the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application, with required materials outlined below. Successful candidates must have strong letters of reference from referees of high standing, highlighting both excellent teaching and evidence of commitment to pedagogical enquiry and teaching innovation.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Candidates must submit a statement describing their contributions to equity, diversity, and inclusion, which might cover topics such as (but not limited to): teaching that incorporates a focus on underrepresented communities; efforts undertaken to develop inclusive pedagogies, collaboration, and engagement with underrepresented communities; and mentoring of students from underrepresented groups.
