Assistant Professor - Applied Linguistics/Language Education with a Focus
On Equity and Inclusion

The Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning (CTL) at the Ontario
Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto invites
applications for a full-time tenure stream position at the rank of
Assistant Professor in the area of Applied Linguistics/Language Education,
with a focus on equity and inclusion. The appointment will commence on July
1, 2022 or shortly thereafter.

Candidates must have earned a PhD or equivalent doctoral degree in Applied
Linguistics, Language Education, or a closely related field (such as
Literacy Education, Linguistic Anthropology or Psycholinguistics) by the
time of appointment or shortly thereafter. Candidates must have a
demonstrated record of excellence in research and teaching with a strong
portfolio in linguistic diversity and language/literacies education from an
international and/or cross-cultural perspective. The successful candidate
will have a scholarly focus that recognizes the interconnectedness of
languages and literacies, and which directly addresses positive change for
racialized, minoritized, and/or immigrant language users. We seek
applicants whose research and teaching interests complement and enhance
existing strengths in CTL’s Language and Literacies Education (LLE)
program. LLE faculty comprise a community of scholars and educators who
embrace multi/plurilingualism and multiliteracies, and who share an
explicit commitment to non-deficit framings of language education,
particularly in the case of racially and linguistically minoritized
language users, learners, and educators. To that end, we seek a colleague
whose research and teaching will enhance our efforts to build equitable and
just educational and professional environments for speakers and learners
from diverse backgrounds.

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 demonstrate involvement in the development and management
of large-scale research projects or collaborations addressing issues
relating to one or more of the following: multilingual language or
literacies acquisition, linguistic and cultural diversity and mobility,
additional language assessment, writing in an additional language, language
education and language rights, language revitalization, and the changes
that these growing movements imply globally.

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, presentations at significant conferences,
awards and accolades, and strong endorsements from referees of high
standing.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses and supervise
students in LLE graduate degree programs (MA, MEd, and PhD). The ability to
contribute to other OISE programs, or collaborative specializations in
which LLE participates, would be an asset. The demonstrated ability to
teach and work effectively in an English-language work environment is
essential. The ability to teach in French, knowledge of additional
languages, and international teaching experience would all be assets for
this position. The successful candidate will be committed to the academic
success of all of our students and foster an environment that acknowledges,
encourages, and celebrates diversity and differences. Other
responsibilities of the position include service to CTL and to OISE, and it
is expected that the successful candidate will work effectively,
respectfully, and collaboratively in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive
settings.

Evidence of excellence in teaching at the university level is required, and
will be provided through teaching accomplishments, the teaching dossier
(with required materials outlined below) submitted with the application, as
well as strong letters of reference.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning offers graduate
programs in Language and Literacies Education, Curriculum and Pedagogy, and
the Master of Teaching, a two-year initial teacher education program. For
