Evidence of excellence in teaching will be demonstrated through the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application, which includes a teaching statement, sample course materials, and teaching evaluations, supported by strong letters of reference.

Candidates are also expected to show evidence of a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and to the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment demonstrated through the application materials.

At least one letter must primarily address the candidate’s teaching.

Equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to academic excellence as articulated in University of Toronto’s Statement on Equity, Diversity and Excellence. We seek candidates who share these values and who demonstrate throughout the application materials their commitment and efforts to advance equity, diversity, inclusion, and the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment.

All application materials, including recent reference letters, must be received by the closing date of November 3, 2025.
