other aspects of the social relations of race and technology. Such

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.
