Research may focus on how technologies such as Artificial Intelligence,
Internet of Things, Ubiquitous Communications (and related applications)

surveillance; social inequality; transnationality and diasporas; policy;
technology development; and/or social justice.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in media, communication studies,
social science, computer science, or a related field, by date of

conferences, awards, and strong endorsements by referees of top
international stature. Excellence in teaching will be demonstrated
through teaching accomplishments, strong letters of reference and the
teaching dossier submitted as part of the application. The successful
candidate will have a graduate appointment in one of the University of
Toronto's tri-campus graduate departments.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
ICCIT focuses on teaching and research excellence in its three
undergraduate programs: Communication, Culture, Information and
Technology, Digital Enterprise Management and Professional Writing and
Communication. ICCIT is building a research complement in critical
communication, interactive and immersive digital media and culture, the
theory and practice of communication; and new media design. The
successful applicant will join a vibrant intellectual community of
world-class scholars at Canada’s leading university. For information,
please visit www.utm.utoronto.ca/iccit.
