Ontario's newest university, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, opened in September 2003 with a 21st century vision of teaching and learning excellence. We invite you to consider joining the University of Ontario Institute of Technology as we continue to build our reputation for educational innovation and outstanding research. Our educational philosophy is student centered, innovative and responsive, while respecting the best practice traditions of Canada's established universities.

The Faculty of Social Science is continuing to grow and expand. In 2006, the Faculty will again increase its faculty complement. It is anticipated that at least one position to begin July 2006 will be made at the rank of Professor. The successful candidate should be sensitive to feminist approaches to the study of crime and criminal justice, and this sensitivity should be reflected in their published work. Candidates should have a strong research record, including both publications and grants received, as appropriate for a senior level appointment, and will be expected to maintain an active and aggressive research program. The areas of research interest are open, but primary consideration will be given to candidates with strong research and teaching interests in one of four broad areas: (1) General Criminal Justice, (2) Criminal Justice Administration, and (3) Legal Studies, (4) Psychology. Candidates for the General Criminal Justice position must be able to teach a range of criminal justice courses including introduction to criminal justice, alternative methods in justice, policing, corrections, prosecution and sentencing, and advanced justice studies. Candidates for the Criminal Justice Administration position will be expected to teach two or more of the following courses: introduction to criminal justice, criminal justice administration, public administration, leadership and administration, and advanced justice studies. Candidates for the Legal Studies position will have a demonstrated ability to teach two or more of the following courses: introduction to the Canadian legal system, criminal law, customs and immigration law, justice theory and policy, and rights and freedom in the justice system. Candidates for a Psychology position must be able to teach courses ranging from introductory psychology, to psychological explanations of crime, developmental psychology, to forensic psychology. Ideally all candidates should be able to teach at least one of research methods, quantitative methods, or qualitative methods. Candidates wishing to be appointed at the rank of Professor should already hold that rank.

Applications will be accepted until November 18, 2005 or until a suitable candidate is found. Applicants should submit in electronic format a covering letter indicating the competition number above, a curriculum vitae including a list of publications, a statement of teaching interests, an outline of current research program, and a brief future research plan, and names of four referees to: careers@uoit.ca. This position is subject to budgetary approval.
