[ecrea] Narrative and Communication, Assistant Professorship

Please check out our website to see the list of colleagues in the 
ICCIT.  We’ve been growing fast and are planning to have four new 
tenure-stream faculty joining us next Summer.

The Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology 
(ICCIT) at the University of Toronto Mississauga invites applications 
for a full-time tenure-stream appointment in the area of Narrative and 
Communication, at the rank of Assistant Professor. The position start 
date is July 1, 2019.

The successful candidate must be a practicing writer who researches and 
teaches in the area of narrative nonfiction or nonfiction story. 
Narrative, as we think of it here, involves the application of tools and 
techniques developed mainly through fiction and the arts applied to the 
purposes of excellent journalistic nonfiction—that is, telling a true 
story with imaginative power, with expressive skill, and with solid 
research as a base. Specific areas of expertise may include journalistic 
writing, narrative as a research methodology, narrative and archival 
research, multi-media and web-based storytelling, digital innovation and 
narrative, or cross-cultural communication built around story. The 
successful candidate will be expected to mount an innovative, 
independent, competitive and externally funded research program, and 
will also bring theory and practice into their teaching within the 
Professional Writing and Communication program in the ICCIT.

Candidates must have a PhD in communication, the literary arts, 
narrative-related arts, or journalism or related fields by the 
appointment start date (or shortly thereafter). Candidates must 
demonstrate an active and excellent writing practice and research 
program that involves the role of narrative in communication; an 
emerging reputation in narrative with demonstrated ability to attract 
external research funding; and a good publication record in top-ranked 
and field relevant journals. Evidence of excellence in teaching 
(including a teaching dossier outlining experience and accomplishments, 
a statement of teaching philosophy, sample syllabi, and teaching 
evaluations, as well as strong letters of reference) is also required. 
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,
