Assistant Professor

University of Toronto, Centre of Criminology and Woodsworth College invite applications for a tenure-stream joint appointment at the rank of assistant professor. The successful candidate will have a doctorate in the social sciences, humanities, or law; and research and teaching interests in policing, security, and criminal justice institutions. The appointment will begin as early as 1 July, 2004.

Applicants should have a completed doctorate at the time of appointment and have demonstrated promise of excellence in teaching and in scholarly research and publication. As the appointment is shared (60% Criminology, 40% Woodsworth College), the appointee will be expected to teach courses in the undergraduate programme in criminology at Woodsworth College and in the graduate programme at the Centre of Criminology. Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to further diversification of ideas. Applications should include a covering letter, curriculum vitae, and two article-length samples of written work. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be submitted under separate cover.

All correspondence should be sent to:

Professor Jim Phillips, Director,
Centre of Criminology
University of Toronto, 130 St. George Street, Room 8001
Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5S 3H1

Applications will be reviewed beginning 1 January 2004 until the position is filled.
