The Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education (KPE) at the University of Toronto invites applications for a tenure stream appointment in biostatistics. The 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 (Statement on Equity, Diversity & Excellence). We strongly welcome and encourage candidates from Black, Indigenous, and other Racialized communities to apply.
Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in biostatistics, statistical sciences, kinesiology,
or a related health-focused field with a strong emphasis on biostatistics by the date of the appointment, or shortly thereafter, with a demonstrated record of excellence in research and teaching. Post-doctoral training is highly desirable. We seek candidates whose research and teaching interests complement and enhance our existing departmental strengths.
The successful candidate will have a strong quantitative focus (e.g., biostatistics) and a demonstrated ability to apply these skills to problems related to kinesiology, specifically the study of human movement and knowledge about physical activity, health, and their interactions. The successful candidate will be expected to pursue innovative and independent research and develop an outstanding, original, and externally funded research programme. Evidence of research productivity and excellence will be demonstrated through a record of publications in top-ranked journals, presentations at significant conferences, research funding, or other forms of recognition appropriate for the field of inquiry.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate kinesiology program teaching and student mentorship and to increase opportunities for kinesiology students to conduct research in associated areas of scholarship. Evidence of excellence in teaching will be demonstrated by teaching accomplishments and the teaching dossier, including a statement of teaching philosophy, sample course materials, and teaching evaluations.
The candidate is expected to contribute to service through engagement on Faculty-related committees.
Applicants will be assessed on the basis of application materials, reference letters, evidence of scholarship, and interviews for those who are shortlisted.
