a tenure-stream appointment in the area of Technology and Race, at the

Successful candidates will be interdisciplinary, techno-centric critical 
race scholars who incorporate intersectional/feminist/cultural analysis 
to research the co-constituent relationship between technology and race. 
Research may focus on how technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, 
Internet of Things, Ubiquitous Communications (and related applications) 
shape the social world, including aspects of personal identification, 
racial formation, collective action, algorithmic discrimination, or 
other aspects of the social relations of race and technology. Such 
scholars could explore how communication technologies and race intersect 
to inform: the engagement and politics of race and ethnicity; 
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 
appointment or shortly thereafter, and demonstrate excellence in 
research and teaching. Excellence in research will be demonstrated 
through publications in leading journals, presentations at competitive 
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.

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
