Description:

Assistant Professor - Intercultural Communication

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures is inviting 
applications for a full-time, tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant 
Professor, specializing in Intercultural Communication, commencing 
August 1, 2013 (subject to final budgetary approval). The ideal 
candidate will have a Ph.D. in Anthropology or Linguistics, with an 
interest in the ethnography of communication, have an excellent record 
in teaching and an outstanding research record, as well as a very well 
developed research program for the next 5 years. The successful 
candidate will be teaching mainly in English, but the ability to teach in 
one of the Department's languages, especially Chinese (Mandarin), 
would be an asset.

We are looking for someone who will be able to teach undergraduate 
linguistics in the interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree in Arts and 
Contemporary Studies (www.ryerson.ca/artsandcontemporarystudies) 
and to join the Yeates School of Graduate Studies in order to become 
involved in one of the Faculty of Arts' graduate programs, such as the 
M.A. in Immigration and Settlement Studies and the M.A. and Ph.D. in 
Communication and Culture. The candidate will also have experience 
in providing service to the academic and/or professional community. 
Finally, in anticipation of the launch of the Department's undergraduate 
degree in Language and Intercultural Communication, the candidate 
will have an ability to participate in the promotion and development of 
this new and exciting program.

Please send an electronic copy and a hard copy of your curriculum 
vitae, together with a cover letter, teaching evaluations, if any, as well 
as recent and significant research samples, and a list of three 
references by November 30, 2012, to Dr. Marco A. Fiola, Chair, at the 
application address below.
