This appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025.
This search aligns with the University's commitment to strategically and proactively promote diversity among our community members. Recognizing that Black, Indigenous, and other Racialized communities have experienced inequities that have developed historically and are ongoing, we strongly welcome and encourage candidates from those communities to apply.
Candidates must have earned a Master of Fine Arts, Master of Visual Studies or equivalent Master's degree by the time of the appointment. An in-progress or completed PhD in Art, Visual Culture, or a related area is considered an asset. Candidates must have a demonstrated record of excellence in research and/or creative professional activity, as well as in teaching. We seek candidates whose research and/or creative professional activity and teaching interests complement and enhance our existing strengths. The successful candidate will be expected to pursue research and/or creative professional activity with international exposure (e.g. exhibitions, festivals, residencies, publications, commissions, and/or curatorial practice).
Candidates must provide evidence of excellence in research and/or creative professional activity which can be demonstrated by the submitted research statement; representation in significant exhibitions, installations, screenings, residencies, commissions, festivals, or other forms of peer recognition of creative work; record of publications in recognized, field-relevant journals or forthcoming high impact publications; participation in field-leading research projects and professional networks; presentations at academic or field-relevant conferences; awards and accolades; and strong endorsements by referees of high standing.
Evidence of excellence in teaching will be provided through teaching accomplishments, the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application, as well as strong letters of reference. Candidates must have the ability to contribute to the enrichment of undergraduate and graduate programs at the Daniels Faculty.
Both undergraduate and graduate studies at the Daniels Faculty focus on a critical understanding and production of art, curatorial and art-adjacent critical practices. The successful candidate will have expert knowledge and dedicated experience in teaching through contemporary studio or curatorial practice and discourse that promotes student experimentation with varied traditional and emergent methods and media.
We are seeking a candidate with a demonstrated capacity to advance Visual Studies knowledge and allied disciplines in a way that can contribute meaningfully to the diverse population and intellectual milieu at the Daniels Faculty.
Please visit our home page: the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at http://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/. The position will include opportunities for the candidate to collaborate with UofT colleagues across the Daniels Faculty.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Applicants must provide the name and contact information of three references. The University of Toronto's recruiting tool will automatically solicit and collect letters of reference from each referee the day after an application is submitted.
All application materials, including recent reference letters, must be received by January 13th, 2025.
