Canada Research Chair in Hearing, Speech, Language

["Prof. Bruce Schneider" <bschneid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

We have an opening for a Canada Research Chair in hearing, speech, and
language at the University of Toronto at Mississauga.  The
successful candidate will become a member of the new Centre for Research
on Biological Communication Systems.  This Centre will occupy 2000
square meters of a new building currently under construction and
scheduled for completion in July, 2004.  The ad for the position
appears below.  Anyone interested should feel free to contact
me.

Canada Research Chair at the advanced Associate or Full
Professor level in hearing, speech, or language.

The University of Toronto at Mississauga (UTM), Department of Psychology,
invites applications for a tenure track faculty position in hearing,
speech, and/or language at the advanced associate or full professor
level, effective July 1, 2004.  The successful candidate will become
a member of the new Centre for Research on Biological Communication
Systems (CRBCS), and will be nominated for a Tier I Chair in the
prestigious Canada Research Chair Program ( GOTOBUTTON BM_1_
http://www.chaires.gc.ca).
 These federally endowed chairs are open to all nationalities.

We are looking for a person interested in human communication who takes a
computational approach to the study of hearing, speech, or
language.  The successful applicant 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.

The successful applicant will join the Human Communication Research Group
within CRBCS. This highly successful research group will be moving in
July, 2004, to a newly constructed 2000 square meter research facility,
containing ten sound-proof chambers and state-of-the art
signal-processing and behavioural recording equipment (in both audio and
visual modalities) that will permit researchers to study any aspect of
human communication.  The successful applicant will be appointed to
the graduate faculty in Psychology (with opportunities for
cross-appointments to other relevant Departments) and will be invited to
contribute to a new program in Communication, Culture, and Information
Technology (CCIT), jointly sponsored by UTM and Sheridan College
(http://ccit.erin.utoronto.ca/).
 
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 (60% growth) projected to
occur at UTM over the next 10 years, we anticipate the addition of many
new positions in Psychology and the Life Sciences.  New buildings
are being constructed, and existing laboratory facilities are being
renovated to support expansion in Human Communication and Technology,
Bio-technology, and Behavioural-Genetics.  Please see our website
for further details ( GOTOBUTTON BM_2_
http://www.erin.utoronto.ca/~w3psy/).

Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, statement of
research and teaching interests, and copies of representative
publications to Dr. Bruce A. Schneider, Department of Psychology,
University of Toronto at Mississauga, 3359 Mississauga Road North,
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, L5L 1C6.  Three letters of
recommendation should also be sent to Dr. Schneider.  On July 1,
2003, we will begin to consider and interview those candidates with
completed files, although the search will remain open until a successful
candidate is found. 
The University especially welcomes applications from visible minority
group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities,
members of sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to the
further diversification of ideas.
