Tenure Track Position in The School of Creative Industries
TheCreativeSchool-CreativeInd.
Posted: November 19, 2024
Deadline to Apply: Saturday, January 18, 2025
Located in downtown Toronto, the largest and most culturally diverse
city in Canada and on the territory of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee
and the Wendat Peoples, the School of Creative Industries within The
Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) welcomes
applications for a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant
Professor, effective July 1, 2025 subject to final budgetary approval.
Unique among North American universities, the Creative Industries
interdisciplinary B.A. program offers studies in creative fields from
the perspective of enterprise development, creative practice, creative
innovation, creative collaboration, and entrepreneurship. It combines an
innovative core curriculum with a management focus and elective course
modules from The Creative School’s nine professional schools. These
schools offer programs in fashion, communication, film, media, and
performance, and work closely with professional groups in Toronto,
Canada’s cultural and business centre. TMU, a distinctly urban
university, is Canada’s leader in innovative, career-focused education
with a mission to serve societal needs and a long-standing commitment to
engaging with its community.
The successful candidate will engage in a combination of teaching,
scholarly research or creative activity and service duties, while
maintaining an inclusive, equitable, and collegial work environment
across all activities. We are looking for candidates who will embrace,
with enthusiasm, the opportunity to work in a dynamic interdisciplinary
research and teaching environment. We seek an emerging scholar able to
demonstrate a dynamic and productive agenda in scholarly, research, and
creative (SRC) work which complements the school’s current strengths in
creative industries research.
Candidates possessing a PhD in a relevant field completed by July 2025
are preferred. Candidates with a relevant terminal degree (e.g. MFA or
MBA in a creative field) with a record of impactful peer-reviewed
dissemination may be considered. A track record of professional practice
and/or experience in the creative industries is considered an asset.
The successful candidate will also be committed to developing the next
generation of leaders in the creative industries and will be responsible
for leading classes including CRI 100: Creative Industries Overview, our
first-year foundation course. This course introduces students to the
unique interdisciplinary challenges and opportunities of the creative
sector in Canada. Faculty in the Creative Industries also have the
opportunity to teach and supervise students in TMU’s various graduate
programs, as appropriate.
In addition, the successful candidate must present evidence of
commitment to our values of equity, diversity, and inclusion as it
pertains to service, teaching, and scholarly research or creative
activities, including a demonstrated ability to make learning accessible
and inclusive for a diverse student population; and an ability and
willingness to contribute to the life of the School and the University
through collegial service.
The School of Creative Industries’ Equity, Community & Inclusion Plan
seeks to address the underrepresentation of racialized people in our
School, and we strongly encourage applications from candidates who
self-identify as a racialized person and invite such candidates to
complete the Applicant Diversity Self-ID during the application process.
Our committee recognizes that scholars have varying career paths and
that career interruptions can be part of an excellent academic record.
Candidates are encouraged to provide any relevant information about
their experience and/or career interruptions.
