[ES_JOBS_NET] Assistant Professor - Toxicological Chemistry - University of Toronto

[Jennifer Murphy]

The University of Toronto invites applications for one joint  
tenure-stream appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor in the  
Department of Chemistry (51%) and the School of the Environment (49%).  
The appointment is in the area of Toxicological Chemistry  
(Environmental, Biological, Analytical), and will commence on July 1,  
2017.

We seek a candidate who conducts research on the impacts of either  
anthropogenic or natural environmental contaminants on organisms in  
one or more of the following or related areas: elucidating the  
molecular mechanisms of toxicity of xenobiotics, development of novel  
assays to identify toxins in the environment, the application of  
metabolomics or proteomics to study environmental exposure. This  
research is intended to complement the strengths of the Department of  
Chemistry in Environmental, Biological and Analytical Chemistry. We  
seek applications from candidates whose research program fits well  
with the collaborative research in our Department and with the  
interdisciplinary focus of the recently formed School of the  
Environment.

We encourage applicants to review both academic units’ research and  
teaching programs prior to applying. Successful applicants will have a  
PhD in Chemistry or a related field by the date of appointment or  
shortly thereafter, with an outstanding academic record as  
demonstrated by publications in top ranked and field relevant academic  
journals, presentations at significant conferences, awards and  
accolades, a strong research dossier submitted as part of the  
application, and strong endorsements by referees. Candidates will be  
expected to build an active, externally funded, and internationally  
recognized research program. The appointee will also demonstrate  
excellence in teaching, and will contribute to the education and  
training of undergraduate and graduate students in both Chemistry and  
the School. Teaching responsibilities will be split between Chemistry  
and the School and may include jointly offered courses. Evidence of  
excellence in teaching will be demonstrated by the statement of  
teaching philosophy, teaching evaluations and the teaching dossier  
submitted as part of the application, as well as strong endorsements  
by referees of high international standing. This evidence can include  
performance as a teaching assistant, experience leading successful  
workshops or seminars, student mentorship, or excellent conference  
presentations or posters.

Salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
