Description:

The Department of Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts and Science at
the University of Toronto invites applications for one three-year
contractually limited term appointment (CLTA). The appointment is in
the area of Sociolinguistics with a focus on minoritized languages and
multilingual speakers. The appointment will be at the rank of
Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of October 1,
2023.

Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. in Linguistics by the time of
appointment, or shortly thereafter, with a demonstrated record of
excellence in research, teaching, and pedagogy, specifically in the
area of Sociolinguistics, with a focus on heritage or other
minoritized/underdocumented languages and strength in quantitative
variationist and sociophonetic analysis. A record of pedagogical
inquiry (SoTL) regarding the inclusion of such speakers and languages
into the university curriculum is an asset.  We seek candidates whose
research and teaching interests complement and enhance our existing
departmental strengths.

The successful candidate will be expected to pursue innovative and
independent research at the highest international level and to
establish an outstanding, competitive, and externally funded research
program.

Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence which can be
demonstrated by a record of publications in top-ranked and field
relevant journals or forthcoming publications meeting high
international standards, the submitted research statement, refereed
and/or invited presentations at national and international
conferences, awards and accolades, and strong endorsements from
referees of high standing.

Evidence of excellence in teaching will be provided through teaching
and mentorship accomplishments, the teaching dossier including a
teaching statement, and sample course materials submitted as part of
the application, as well as strong letters of reference.

The successful applicant will be expected to teach and supervise
undergraduate and graduate students in their area of specialization as
well as teach in other areas as determined by the department.

More information on the University of Toronto (http://www.utoronto.ca)
and the Department of Linguistics (http://linguistics.utoronto.ca) can
be found on their respective websites. Linguistics undergraduate
course descriptions are available at
www.artsandscience.utoronto.ca/ofr/calendar/crs_lin.htm.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

All qualified candidates are invited to apply online by clicking on
the link below.  Applications must submit a cover letter of no more
than 2 single-spaced pages; a current curriculum vitae; a 2-3 page
research statement outlining current and future research interests; a
recent writing sample; and a teaching dossier to include a 1-2 page
teaching statement, teaching evaluations, and sample course materials.

We seek candidates who value diversity and whose research, teaching
and service bear out our commitment to equity. Candidates are
therefore also asked to submit a 1‐2 page statement of contributions
to equity and diversity, which might cover topics such as (but not
limited to): research or teaching that incorporates a focus on
underrepresented communities, the development of inclusive pedagogies,
or the mentoring of students from underrepresented groups.

Applicants must provide the name and contact information of three
references. The University of Toronto’s recruiting tool will
automatically solicit and collect letters of reference from each once
an application is submitted. Applicants, however, remain responsible
for ensuring that references submit letters (on letterhead, dated and
signed) by the closing date. More details on the automatic reference
letter collection, including timelines, are available in the FAQ.

All application materials should be submitted online and received by
the deadline below.
