Director, Program in Communication, Culture, and Information Technology
University of Toronto, Mississauga Campus
Deadline: July 15, 2001
Job Description:
The University of Toronto has developed a vision to create at its
Mississauga campus a leading centre for understanding the impact of
information technology on communication and culture. It is seeking an
accomplished and energetic academic leader as Director of a new
undergraduate degree Program in Communication, Culture, and Information
Technology, to be delivered jointly by the University and by Sheridan
College at its Oakville campus.
This position represents an exceptional opportunity to participate in and
lead a major new initiative at a university campus. The Director will
assume a leading academic role having primary responsibility for the
academic program and the encouragement of research. The Director will
ensure a commitment to student and faculty development at UTM and at
Sheridan by ensuring the highest academic standards and public recognition
of the program's excellence. The Director will hold a tenured position at
the associate or full professor level in an academic department of the
University of Toronto and report to the chief academic officer of the
University of Toronto at Mississauga. The Director's position is for five
years, renewable.
The successful candidate is expected to hold a PhD, have an internationally
recognised academic record, with experience in directing innovative changes
in academic environments and the perspectives requisite to the development
of an interdisciplinary and inter-institutional initiative. The Director
will be expected to carry the vision for the program to the public and
governments and will be heavily involved in development work. Established
in 1967, the Mississauga campus provides a college environment for 200
faculty and 6500 students from the most culturally diverse communities in
Canada. Programs are offered in Humanities, Science, Social Science and
Management. Transformation of the campus will unfold with a significant
investment in new programs, faculty, and facilities as the campus undergoes
significant growth in the next decade. Initiatives are underway to expand
e-learning, graduate studies and research centres. The new program in
Communication, Culture, and Information Technology will represent a 20%
expansion of the present campus. Two new buildings are being designed for
the program, one each at Sheridan and at UTM. They will open in 2003.
Deadline for applications is July 15, 2001. The position is available
September 1, 2001 but is negotiable. The University of Toronto is strongly
committed to diversity within its community. The University especially
welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women,
Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, and others who may
contribute to further diversification of ideas.
