In addition, the candidate must be qualified to teach general linguistics courses at the undergraduate level and should be willing to teach independent study courses where needed. As a full member of the integrated tri-campus graduate Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto, the successful candidate will be responsible for graduate teaching, supervising masters and doctoral theses and collaborating with colleagues on programs, initiatives, and public events. He or she will be expected to actively seek external research funding and set up a departmental research laboratory at UTSC.
