The appointment is at the rank of Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, with an expected start date of September 1, 2023 and ending on August 31, 2025.

Applicants must have earned a Ph.D. degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science or a related area by the time of appointment or shortly thereafter.

We seek candidates whose teaching interests complement and strengthen our existing departmental strengths. Candidates must have teaching expertise in a degree granting program at the undergraduate level including lecture preparation and delivery. Additionally, candidates must possess a commitment to excellent pedagogical practices and interest in teaching-related scholarly activities.

Evidence of excellence in teaching and pedagogical inquiry can be demonstrated through teaching experience and accomplishments, awards and accolades, presentations at significant conferences, the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application (with required materials outlined below) as well as strong letters of reference from referees of high standing.

Candidates are also expected to show evidence of a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI), and the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment demonstrated through the application materials.

The position involves teaching undergraduate courses primarily in behavioural neuroscience, with the ability to teach Cognitive Neuroscience, Learning and Plasticity, and Physiology and Psychology of Emotion as particular assets. The position may also include opportunities to teach in other relevant areas including statistics, research methods, learning, memory, psychopharmacology, sensation and perception, circadian rhythms and biological timing, emotion, and neurological disorders (https://artsci.calendar.utoronto.ca/section/Psychology#courses).
