Cognitive Psychology Position at the level of Assistant or early
Associate Professor

The University of Toronto at Mississauga, Department of Psychology,
invites applications for a tenure-track position in Cognitive Psychology
at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor, effective July 1, 2004.
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.  Applications will be accepted
in all areas of cognitive psychology but preference will be given to
candidates whose research interests are related to language. The
successful applicant will have the opportunity to work with 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.  This highly successful research group will
be moving in August, 2004, to a newly constructed 1100 square meter
research facility containing state-of-the art equipment and facilities
(in both audio and visual modalities) that will permit researchers to
study any aspect of human communication.  The Human Communication
Research Group is also part of the new Centre for Research on Biological
Communication Systems (BCS). 

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 as well as the
construction of new buildings and laboratory  facilities. 
Please see our website for further details
(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. Alison Fleming, Chair, Department of Psychology,
University of Toronto at Mississauga, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5L
1C6.  Three letters of recommendation should also be sent to Dr.
Fleming.  On November 15 we will begin to consider and interview
those candidates with completed files. All qualified applicants are
encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be
given priority. The University is strongly committed to diversity within
its community and 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.
