The Department of Historical Studies at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) invites applications for a full-time tenure stream position in Jain Studies. The appointment will be at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor and the successful candidate will also hold the position of Gyan and Kanchan Jain Chair in Jain Studies for a five-year term, renewable following a favourable review. This appointment will have an anticipated start date of July 1, 2024, or shortly thereafter.

Candidates must have earned a PhD in Religious Studies or a closely related area, with a clearly demonstrated record of excellence in research and teaching. The successful candidate must be recognized internationally as an outstanding and innovative world-class researcher whose accomplishments have made a major impact in the field of Jain studies, as commensurate with career stage. The Chairholder is expected to attract, develop and retain excellent trainees, students and future researchers; and have established a research program of the highest quality. The successful candidate's research should complement the expertise already present in the History of Religions Program in the Department of Historical Studies ( htt ps:// studies/programs/history-religions ). Their research must focus on the study of Jainism and demonstrate engagement with the cultural, historical, and social contexts of the religious tradition, reflecting the breadth of Jain history and culture. We invite candidates to articulate how they incorporate and interpret recent methodologies in their research and teaching statements, as outlined below.

The successful candidate must provide evidence of excellence in both research and teaching. Evidence of excellence in research will be demonstrated by a record of sustained high-impact contributions and publications in top-ranked and field-relevant journals, presentations at significant conferences, and other noteworthy activities that contribute to the visibility and prominence of the discipline, as well awards, accolades and strong endorsements by renowned referees in the field. The successful candidate must demonstrate linguistic mastery in relevant languages of research.

Evidence of excellence in teaching will be demonstrated through teaching accomplishments, the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application, including a statement describing pedagogic strategies, sample course materials, and teaching evaluations.

The successful applicant must have the ability to teach a broad range of existing and new courses from the introductory to the advanced level as part of the undergraduate curriculum in the History of Religions Program at the University of Toronto Mississauga.

As the inaugural holder of the Gyan and Kanchan Jain Chair in Jain Studies, the successful candidate will be expected to further a deeper understanding of Jainism at the University of Toronto Mississauga, in the community within the university, the Peel Region, and Canada more broadly, through teaching, outreach, and research activities. Support for outreach activities will be provided enabling the successful candidate to host events as well as research and teaching activities.

Salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
