Candidates are also expected to show evidence of commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and to the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment demonstrated through application materials.

The University of Toronto is an international leader in Mathematics research and education and we seek exceptional candidates whose research and teaching interests complement and enhance our existing departmental strengths. The successful candidate will have an established international reputation and will be expected to sustain and lead innovative and independent research at the highest international level and to maintain an outstanding, competitive, and externally funded research program.
