The Department of Mathematical and Computational Sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) invites applications for a full-time teaching stream appointment in Statistics. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, and will commence on July 1, 2023, or shortly thereafter. We seek candidates who have a
record of excellent teaching and demonstrated interest in establishing a
long-term teaching career with the Department. Applicants must have earned a
Master’s degree in Statistics or related discipline by the time of the appointment.
A Ph.D. in Statistics focusing on machine/statistical learning, or a related
area, by the time of
appointment, or shortly thereafter, is
preferred. Candidates must have teaching interests that complement and enhance
our existing departmental strengths (see https://www.utm.utoronto.ca/math-cs-stats/home). We
seek enthusiastic and innovative individuals pursuing an academic career in
teaching Statistics. We require that candidates have
teaching expertise in a degree granting program at the undergraduate program
level, including lecture preparation and delivery, curriculum development, and
development of online material/lectures; have demonstrated commitment to
excellent pedagogical practices; and have engaged with students both in and out
of a course setting (for example, running seminars, contests, workshops, and
engaging with student-run initiatives). Preference will be given to candidates
who have contributed to departmental administration (for example, through
course coordination or by managing TAs) and have supervised undergraduate or
graduate research projects. Candidates must demonstrate strong organizational,
interpersonal, and communication skills. Evidence of excellence in
teaching and pedagogical inquiry can be demonstrated through teaching
accomplishments, awards and accolades, presentations at significant
conferences, the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application
including a strong teaching statement, selected course materials, and course
evaluations, as well as strong letters of reference from referees of high
standing highlighting both excellent teaching and commitment to pedagogical
enquiry and teaching innovation. Salary will be commensurate
with qualifications and experience. At UTM we are committed to
fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion. With an enviable diverse
student body, we especially welcome applications from candidates who identify
as Indigenous, Black, or racially visible (persons of colour), and who have
experience working with teaching or mentoring diverse groups or students.
Candidates must demonstrate, in their application materials, an ability to
foster diversity on campus and within the curriculum or discipline, and must
show evidence of a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and the
promotion of a respectful and collegial environment. 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. If you have questions about this statement, please contact Professor
Ilia Binder at ilia.binder@utoronto.ca. All qualified candidates are
