The Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough invites applications for a full time teaching-stream appointment in the field of Statistics. The appointment will be at the rank of Lecturer and will commence July 1, 2015.

We seek candidates with a record of outstanding teaching accomplishments, who possess the intellectual curiosity and drive to pursue innovative pedagogical methods, and are interested in establishing a long-term career as a teaching-stream faculty member in the department. The successful candidate will join a vibrant group of teaching-stream faculty, who are engaged in pedagogical and curricular innovations and research. Faculty are expected to combine their expertise in the discipline with best practices in teaching to create rich learning environments that embrace diversity, promote equity, and integrate research in a manner that challenges students to develop skills and ethics to be leading citizens.
