Description:

The Faculty of Information and the Department of Italian, Spanish, Portuguese & Latin American Studies in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto invites applications for a full-time tenure stream position in Italian cultural studies and history with expertise in fascism and far right movements in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; archival and historiographic methodologies; and the interplay of monuments, museums and memory studies.

We seek candidates who are leaders in global and comparative research in one or more of the following areas:

  • Memory studies as it relates to the construction and reconstruction of national narratives and heritage, especially during times of political upheaval and social re-organization.

  • Methodological expertise in archival research and historiography, with attention to how archives are formed and later utilized.

  • Expertise in Italian cultural studies and cultural history, especially as it relates to neighbouring states in the Mediterranean.


The successful candidate will play a leading role in envisioning, developing, and deploying innovative degree pathways between undergraduate and professional master programs. We seek candidates with demonstrated experience and achievements in:

  • Curriculum development and renewal at undergraduate and graduate levels

  • Undergraduate humanities and social science teaching

  • Professional masters teaching, especially in the areas of GLAMs (Galleries, Archives, Libraries, and Museums)

  • Administrative leadership, including stakeholder engagement and consultation, effective communication, and positive faculty-staff working relationships

  • Inter-divisional collaboration

  • Understanding and applying University policies and governance processes


Successful applicants will hold a doctoral degree in such fields as Information Science, Museum Studies, History, Anthropology, Area Studies, Cultural Studies, Media and Communication or Journalism Studies, or Memory Studies. Successful applicants will have a robust teaching dossier that includes undergraduate and graduate level teaching, as well as supervision of students (undergraduate, masters and/or PhD). They will also have a proven track record of administrative efficacy and leadership commensurate with the rank of Associate Professor.
