graduate departments. Completion of a Ph.D. and evidence of excellent
teaching and research abilities are required. The successful candidate will

of digital and new media and to assist in developing the ICCIT as a centre
of research and teaching excellence. Salary will be commensurate with
qualifications and teaching experience.

Mississauga that focuses on teaching and research excellence in its four

(CCIT), Interactive Digital Media (IDM), Digital Enterprise Management
(DEM), and Professional Writing and Communication (PWC). Currently, ICCIT
is building a research complement in social networking and communication,
interactive and immersive digital media and culture, and the theory and
practice of design, with an emphasis on all aspects of digital media. ICCIT
is also actively engaged with the community and profit and non-profit
organizations.



The University of Toronto offers the opportunity to teach, conduct research
and live in one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world. ICCIT

interdisciplinary environment and in a range of collaborative programs.
