The Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) invites applications for up to two full-time tenure stream appointments in Mathematics. The appointments will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025.
Candidates in all areas of Mathematics, Pure and Applied Mathematics, will be considered. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the further development of Mathematics at the University of Toronto and also to the further expansion of our Department in that direction in the future. They may also be able to enhance their research through collaboration with institutions outside the University of Toronto, such as the Fields Institute.
Applicants must have earned a PhD degree in Mathematics, or a closely related area, by the time of appointment or shortly thereafter, with a demonstrated record of excellence in research and teaching. We seek exceptional candidates whose research and teaching interests complement and strengthen our existing departmental strengths. The successful candidate will be expected to pursue independent, innovative research, and to establish an outstanding, competitive, and externally funded research program.
Candidates must provide evidence of excellence in research, which can be demonstrated by a record of contributions and publications in top-ranked mathematics journals or forthcoming publications meeting high international standards, the submitted research statement, presentations at significant conferences, awards and accolades, and strong endorsements by referees of top international stature.
Evidence of excellence in teaching will be demonstrated by teaching accomplishments, and the teaching dossier, including a teaching statement, sample course materials, and teaching evaluations or other evidence of superior performance in teaching-related activities submitted as part of the application, as well as strong letters of reference. Other teaching-related activities can include performance as a teaching assistant or course instructor, experience leading successful workshops or seminars, student mentorship, or excellent conference presentations or posters.
Candidates must also show evidence of a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and to the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment, as demonstrated through the application materials.
The successful candidates will also have an appointment in the tri-campus Graduate Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto. The successful candidates will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching and supervisions, and to participate actively in the Graduate Department of Mathematics.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
The University of Toronto offers the opportunity to teach, conduct research, and live in one of the most diverse metropolitan areas in the world.
