Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

We seek candidates to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in 19th

expected with ability and willingness to contribute to the language
teaching sequence when required.

The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. by the time of appointment.
The candidate must show promise or significant achievement in research
and publication in 19th Century Russian literature, and demonstrate
excellence in teaching. North American teaching experience is highly
desirable.  While all areas of specialization are eligible, scholars of
poetry, theatre, and Golden Age are particularly encouraged to apply.

The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its
community. The University of Toronto especially welcomes applications
from visible minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons
with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may
contribute to further diversification of ideas.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and
permanent residents will be given priority.
