The Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto invites applications for a full-time tenure stream position in the area of Economic Inequality and Societies. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with an expected start date of July 1, 2022.
Candidates must have earned a PhD degree in any social science field relating to Economic Inequality and Societies by date of appointment or shortly thereafter, with a clearly demonstrated record of excellence in research and teaching. This may include Economics, Political Science, Sociology, or related fields. The Munk School seeks a scholar whose research and teaching interests can complement and enhance one or more of our existing strengths, which include the Future of Democratic Societies, the Changing World Order, the Political Economy of Innovation, and the Digital World. The successful candidate will be expected to pursue innovative and independent research at the highest international level, and to establish an outstanding, competitive, externally funded research program. The Committee especially welcomes candidates whose work focuses on the Global South.
Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence which can be demonstrated by a record of publications in top-ranked disciplinary and/or field-relevant academic journals or academic presses, outstanding research papers, forthcoming publications meeting high international standards, the submitted research statement, presentations at significant conferences, awards and accolades, and strong endorsements from referees of high standing.
Evidence of excellence in teaching may be demonstrated through teaching accomplishments, through the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application including a teaching statement, sample course materials, teaching evaluations, and through endorsements of teaching in the letters of reference.
The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses, including in the Munk School’s professional graduate programs (the Master of Global Affairs and the Master of Public Policy) to students from a wide range of academic backgrounds and interests. The successful candidate will have experience or demonstrable interest in a professional school and/or in an interdisciplinary environment.
We welcome applicants whose research can integrate the ample opportunities for collaboration within the Munk School and across the University of Toronto. We note that the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy is home to several research groups that connect with these issues of economic inequality and democratic societies, including the Global Justice Lab, the Policy, Elections, and Representation Lab, the Innovation Policy Lab, the Migration Policy Lab, and others. It is also home to several programs, including the Harney Program in Ethnic, Immigration and Pluralism Studies and the Trudeau Centre for Peace, Conflict and Justice, with related undergraduate teaching programs.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
