        The University of Toronto at Mississauga, Department of
Psychology, invites applications for two tenure-track positions (Cognitive
Psychology, Hearing and Speech) at the level of Assistant or Associate
Professor, effective July 1, 2002. Applicants for these positions should
have a strong record of research achievement and will be expected to
maintain an active, externally funded program of research and to contribute
to the education and training of undergraduate and graduate
students.  Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
        Cognitive Psychology.  We are looking for a person with research
interests in language, language development, and communication.  The
successful applicant will be part of the Human Communication Research Group
at the University of Toronto at Mississauga, an interdisciplinary group
whose research focus is on human communication throughout the lifespan.  In
2003, this research group will be moving to new facility, containing eight
sound-proof chambers and state-of-the art signal-processing and behavioural
recording equipment that will permit researchers to study any aspect of
human communication. This facility is part of a new program in
Communication, Culture, and Information Technology (CCIT), jointly
sponsored by UTM and Sheridan College.
        Hearing and Speech.   Because of the primacy of spoken language in
human communication, we are looking for a person with a strong background
in the hearing sciences whose research interests are in hearing and
speech.  The successful applicant will be a member of the Human
Communication Research Group and will be expected to teach courses on
hearing, hearing disorders, and speech in the new undergraduate CCIT program.
        The University of Toronto at Mississauga, one of three campuses of
the University of Toronto, is located in the City of Mississauga, on the
western border of Toronto, approximately 20 km from Toronto's Civic Centre.
In light of the extensive expansion (50% growth) that will occur at UTM
over the next 10 years, we anticipate the addition of many new positions in
Psychology and in the Life Sciences.  New buildings are being constructed,
and existing laboratory facilities are being renovated to support expansion
in three areas: Communication Culture, and Information Technology,
Bio-technology, and Behavioural Genetics and Developmental
Neurobiology.  Please see our website for further details
