positions in any of the following areas of specialization: American
studies (nineteenth- and twentieth-century), writing and rhetoric
(including digital rhetoric), British nineteenth-century studies, and
dramatic literature; secondary areas of interest include history of the
book, non-fiction prose, poetry, popular culture, the early modern
period and the long eighteenth century. The appointments will be
effective August 1, 2006.

The successful candidates will have a doctorate in English (or related
discipline) and exhibit evidence of excellence in both research and

cultural studies, a willingness to teach in collaborative environments,
and facility with new media, are particularly encouraged to apply.
Successful candidates will contribute to interdisciplinary programs at
both the undergraduate and the graduate levels.

The Department of English at Ryerson University offers innovative
courses to a wide diversity of students. Located in the heart of
Toronto's cosmopolitan downtown core, the Department connects to its

Review. The Modern Culture Multi-Media Centre, a state-of-the-art
facility dedicated to research of modern and contemporary culture, will
be launched later this year.
