Description:

(Note: This is an abridged version of the full ad, which can be viewed on the
Ryerson HR Portal at the link below.)

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures (Ryerson University)
invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position, at the Assistant
Professor level, beginning July 1, 2018, subject to final budgetary approval.
The area of specialization is Sociolinguistics, with demonstrated expertise in
areas such as intercultural communication, cultural and linguistic
anthropology, sociolects in contact and culturally-marked communicative
practices. The ideal candidate for this position will have demonstrated
expertise and experience in dealing with intercultural relations and
cross-cultural negotiations and related research methods. Interest and/or
experience in taking on a leadership role in the development of Mandarin
courses and programming is considered an asset.

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures
(http://www.ryerson.ca/llc) participates in innovative interdisciplinary
programs that aim at providing students with the opportunity to deepen their
sense of self-awareness in order to achieve intercultural empathy and cultural
competence, so that they can understand how others see the world differently
and then serve as intercultural mediators in diverse walks of life. While our
ambition is to build our own graduate program, faculty members are already
involved in several interdisciplinary graduate programs: the M.A. in
Immigration and Settlement Studies; the M.A./Ph.D. joint programs in
Communication and Culture; and the Ph.D. in Policy Studies. LLC offers a wide
selection of courses taught in English, French, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic.

Responsibilities will include: teaching and supervising at the undergraduate
and graduate levels; contributing to the undergraduate and graduate programs,
including taking a lead role in curriculum development/expansion as
appropriate; establishing and maintaining a strong, independent,
externally-funded research agenda; and participating in the academic life of
the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, the Faculty of Arts and
the University. 

The successful candidate will have completed a PhD (or expect to do so by July
2018), and will demonstrate an ability to contribute to both our undergraduate
and graduate programs, show evidence of high-quality teaching, cultivate a
strong research profile and an emerging scholarly record, and manifest a clear
capacity for collegial service. Candidates must have a demonstrated commitment
to upholding the values of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion as it pertains to
service, teaching, and scholarly, research or creative activities.

Applicants are asked to submit their application online via the Faculty
Recruitment Portal at the link below. The application must contain the
following:
- A letter of application and curriculum vitae
- Three  (3) recent research publications
- Results of teaching evaluations (or equivalent evidence, such as a teaching
dossier)
- The names of at least 3 individuals who may be contacted for reference
letters.

Please indicate in your application if you are a Canadian citizen or a
permanent resident of Canada. The review of applications will begin November
27, 2017, and will continue until the position is filled.

Any inquiries regarding accessing the Faculty Recruitment Portal can be sent
to Mr. Lindsay Wiener, Human Resource Advisor at rdoyle at ryerson.ca.



Application Deadline: 27-Nov-2017 (Open until filled)
