[Sessional Lecturer] Blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies
3 months ago
Date Posted: 07/26/2024
Req ID: 38926
Faculty/Division: Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering
Department: APSC: Ofc of the Dean - Faculty General
Campus: St. George (Downtown Toronto)
Description:
Course title and code: Blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies - APS1050
Course description: A recent feature article at the Harvard Business Review points out that the emergence of Bitcoin and similar Blockchain technologies is a foundational change so profound that it can only be compared to the adoption of TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/internet protocol). Like TCP/IP, Blockchain technologies could generate a complete new internet, with new associated business models. A tamper-proof shared automatic ledger allows companies to equalize internal and external costs, reducing the advantages of scale for established heavyweights and benefiting broad alliances of smaller players. Smart contracts that automatically validate or trigger ledger transactions have the potential to entirely transform the organization and management of businesses, with special impact in contract negotiation and enforcement, accounting, sales and marketing, and capital investment.
Bitcoin is a particular implementation of Blockchain technology that has led to a disruptive “product”: a digital cryptocurrency that has the potential to compete with fiat currencies. Bitcoin’s popularity has prompted the development of competing cryptocurrencies, and the emergence of a symbiotic community of legitimate and grey market entrepreneurs.
Course Learning Objectives:
- Acquire a concrete understanding of Blockchain technologies through the installation, operation and modification of a simplified Blockchain program.
- Become acquainted with the history and typology of Blockchain technologies: the landscape of cryptocurrencies and hyper currencies.
- Develop and apply a set of selection criteria for the evaluation of Blockchain strengths, weaknesses and risks.
- Trace a likely path for the adoption of Blockchain technologies.
- Learn to setup, operate and trade a Bitcoin account safely.
Course Structure and Content:
- The first theme is: Economics of Cryptocurrencies
- The second theme is: Bitcoin Technology
- The third theme is: Blockchain Disintermediation & New Business Models
- The fourth theme is: Owning and Trading Bitcoin
Sessional date of appointment: Fall Sept-Dec 2024
Salary: Minimum level of pay is $4,728.94 (50% of Sessional Lecturer I as co-instructor), which includes vacation pay, and may increase depending on applicant’s level of experience and suitability for the position.
Qualifications: Expertise in Blockchain programming, financial modeling, and economics of cryptocurrencies. Experience as an instructor at the undergraduate or graduate level, with the ability to effectively communicate and explain concepts clearly.
Brief description of duties: Duties include preparation of lectures and course materials for delivery; delivery of lectures; possible supervision of Teaching Assistants; setting and marking of projects, tests and exams; evaluation of final grades; contact with students.
