1 month ago
Located in downtown Toronto, the largest and most culturally diverse city in Canada and on the territory of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee and the Wendat Peoples, the School of Urban and Regional Planning (SURP) in the Faculty of Community Services at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) invites applications for a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor effective July 1, 2023, subject to final budgetary approval.
The primary research interests of the successful candidate should be the application of Data and/or Geo-spatial Analytics in one or more of the following areas in Urban Planning: Urban Policy, Urban Design, Complex Urban Systems, and Connected Cities or Communities. We specifically welcome candidates who clearly demonstrate how their work in these areas advances more sustainable and equitable communities. The successful candidate will engage in a combination of teaching, scholarly research or creative activity, and service duties while maintaining an inclusive, equitable, and collegial work environment across all activities. Teaching duties will entail teaching core and elective courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, supervision of students, and curriculum development, including in the areas of (advanced) Statistics, Planning Analysis, Research Methods, and/or GIS. The successful candidate will pursue a strong, innovative research program or creative activity that is externally funded and that produces cutting-edge, high-quality results. To support SURP’s continued accreditation success, it is expected that the successful candidate will achieve full membership as a professional planner with the Ontario Professional Planning Institute within five years of their appointment.
Candidates must have an accredited degree in Urban and/or Regional Planning and hold a doctoral (PhD) degree in Planning or a closely related field by the appointment date. Candidates who are all-but-dissertation (ABD) and are able to demonstrate that they are very close to completion may also be considered.
In addition, the successful candidate must present evidence of:
- a strong emerging scholarly research and/or creative activity that is current, innovative and impactful as evidenced by, but not limited to, peer-reviewed publications, working papers, public policy contributions, presentations at academic conferences, community engagement and professional work, success in securing grants, research-related awards, and other writing or creative production that contributes to the visibility and prominence of the discipline;
- potential for teaching excellence at all levels of the undergraduate and graduate curriculums, as evidenced by a teaching dossier that includes a teaching philosophy statement, experience with course and curriculum review and/or development, examples of best practices in inclusive pedagogy, including the effective use of classroom technology and any experience with experiential learning, sample syllabi related to the position’s focus areas, strong teaching evaluations, teaching awards, and other relevant achievements in teaching;
- a commitment to our values of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion as it pertains to service, teaching, and scholarly research or creative activities, including a demonstrated ability to make learning accessible and inclusive for a diverse student population; and
- an ability and willingness to contribute to the life of the School of Urban and Regional Planning and the University through collegial service.
Our committee recognizes that scholars have varying career paths and that career interruptions can be part of an excellent academic record. Candidates are encouraged to provide any relevant information about their experience and/or career interruptions.
This position falls under the jurisdiction of the Ryerson Faculty Association (RFA). The RFA collective agreement can be viewed here and a summary of RFA benefits can be found here.
