Job Description

The Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) invites applications for a full-time teaching stream position in Behavioural Neuroscience. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025.

Candidates must have teaching experience in behavioural neuroscience from a degree-granting program, including lecture and laboratory preparation and delivery, curriculum development, and development of online material/lectures. Additionally, candidates must possess a demonstrated commitment to excellent pedagogical inquiry and a demonstrated interest in teaching-related scholarly activities.  

The successful candidate should be well-versed in current theory and methods in behavioural neuroscience and have broad content knowledge of the field at both the cell and systems levels. Experience and/or knowledge related to evidence-based pedagogical practice as it applies to teaching courses in behavioural neuroscience will be considered an asset. The candidate is expected to contribute to initiatives associated with the new Scarborough Academy of Medicine and Integrated Health ( SAMIH) .

The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate courses in behavioural neuroscience, and to supervise undergraduate students in research projects. They will also be expected to perform standard professional and administrative activities typical of a department and/or university.

Evidence of excellence in teaching and a commitment to excellent pedagogical inquiry can be demonstrated through teaching accomplishments, awards and accolades, presentations at significant conferences, the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application (with required materials outlined below), as well as strong letters of reference.  

Additional evidence of excellence in teaching can also include documentation of excellent performance in other teaching related activities such as conducting pedagogical research, supervising undergraduate and/or graduate research projects, and/or leading successful workshops or seminars. 

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. We seek candidates who value diversity and whose research, teaching and service bear out our commitment to equity. Candidates must also show evidence of a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and to the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment, as demonstrated through the application materials. Candidates are therefore asked to submit a 1- to 2-page statement of contributions to equity and diversity, which might cover topics such as (but not limited to): research or teaching that incorporates a focus on underrepresented communities, the development of inclusive pedagogies, or the mentoring of students from underrepresented groups.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. 

The appointment is at the University of Toronto Scarborough, which is a research-intensive campus with an interdisciplinary commitment, a multicultural student body, and a modern campus surrounded by parklands and green spaces. The Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto Scarborough is particularly well known for technological pedagogical innovation and provides an opportunity for the successful candidate to join a department that values and promotes excellent teaching, and is committed to furthering the learning sciences in terms of both research and practice. The position offers the opportunity to conduct research, teach, and live in one of the most diverse cities in the world. 

The Department of Psychology at UTSC includes faculty members with interests in behavioural neuroscience, clinical, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology. For more information about our department faculty, please visit our home page:  .
