    Assistant Professor - School of Creative Industries


      Faculty of Communication and Design (FCAD), Creative Industries

Posted: 	December 4, 2017
Deadline to Apply: 	Monday, January 8, 2018



At the intersection of mind and action, Ryerson is on a transformative 
path to become Canada’s leading comprehensive innovation university. 
Integral to this path is the placement of equity, diversity and 
inclusion as fundamental to our institutional culture. Our current 
academic plan <http://www.ryerson.ca/provost/planning/>outlines each as 
core values and we work to embed them in all that we do.

Ryerson University’s School of Creative Industries invites applications 
for a tenure track full time faculty position at the rank of Assistant 
Professor effective July 1, 2018. The deadline for completed 
applications is January 8, 2018. This appointment is subject to 
budgetary approval.

Unique among North American universities, Ryerson’s Creative Industries 
program studies the creative fields from the perspective of enterprise 
development, creative innovation and entrepreneurship to prepare 
students for today’s creative economy. The School provides teaching and 
research expertise to the Faculty of Communication & Design (FCAD) and 
Ryerson University and is the home for FCAD interdisciplinary courses. 
FCAD focuses on programs in communication, media and the performing arts 
and works closely with professional groups in Toronto, Canada’s cultural 
and business center. Ryerson University, a distinctly urban university, 
is Canada’s leader in innovative, career-focused education with a 
mission to serve societal need and a long-standing commitment to 
engaging with its community.

We are looking for viable candidates who will embrace, with enthusiasm, 
the opportunity to work in a dynamic interdisciplinary teaching and 
learning environment. We seek an ambitious, emergent scholar and teacher 
who is deeply invested in the discipline of creative industries, its 
application to industry, public, and not-for-profit sectors, and the 
development of the next generation of creative leaders.

Candidates possessing a PhD in a relevant field completed by July, 2018 
are preferred. Candidates with a relevant terminal degree (e.g. LLB/JD, 
MBA, MFA in a creative industry) with a record of impactful 
peer-reviewed dissemination will be considered. A track record of 
professional practice and/or experience in the creative industries will 
be an asset. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a dynamic, 
productive agenda in scholarly, research and creative work which 
complements the department’s current strengths.

Applicants may be drawn from such diverse fields as media, business/ 
management, law, communication, creative industries, economic geography, 
sociology, marketing/PR/strategic communication. Regardless of 
discipline, we are looking for applicants with dynamic, productive, 
critical and applied research programs grounded in the study of one or 
more creative industries including: music, fashion, journalism, 
advertising, digital & traditional media and others, who are interested 
in themes and trends that cross cut the creative industries such as the 
social and political impacts of creative industries, leadership, design, 
globalization, entrepreneurship and investment, governance and 
regulation, work and labour, the impacts of technological change, and so on.

The successful candidate will provide evidence of high-quality teaching 
and have the capacity to bring an interdisciplinary approach to the 
classroom. Candidates should speak to what insights they would bring to 
one or two of our required mass lecture courses, a Creative Industry 
core elective and towards developing courses in their own area of 
specialty. Candidates will have the opportunity to teach at the graduate 
level and supervise masters and PhD theses in various programs at the 
University where appropriate. Our faculty are also expected to provide 
spirited, collegial service to the School, FCAD and the University. 
Candidates must have a demonstrated commitment to upholding the values 
of equity, diversity and inclusion as they pertain to teaching and 
service and scholarly, research or creative activities. A strong asset 
will be an intimate knowledge of and connection to marginalized 
communities, inviting applicants to become part of a diversifying faculty.

Ryerson University welcomes those who have demonstrated a commitment to 
upholding the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion and will assist 
us to expand our capacity for diversity in the broadest sense. In 
addition, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment in 
Canada, we encourage applications from members of groups that have been

encouraged to apply; however, applications from Canadians and permanent
