Introduction to the School of Criminology

The School of Criminology has a well-established undergraduate program with over 900 students. It also offers graduate programs leading to the degrees of M.A. and Ph.D. There are exceptional research opportunities which include access to key research centres and institutes including the International Cyber-Crime Research Centre, the Centre for Forensic Research, the Centre for Restorative Justice, the Institute on Violence, Terrorism and Security, and the FREDA Centre for Feminist Research, Education, Development and Action. The successful candidate will be supported by collegial interdisciplinary faculty who employ a range of approaches to understand complex relationships between crime and inequality. Our School has a strong research and teaching emphasis, with an award-winning interdisciplinary faculty and internationally recognized graduate program. Department faculty regularly consult with the highest level of government and nongovernment agencies on policy-based research at the national, provincial, and local level. Our community engaged research and teaching is exciting, inclusive, and at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary work in criminology.

The School of Criminology is committed to fostering inclusive excellence and embracing diverse approaches and perspectives in both teaching and research. Our faculty members integrate a wide range of viewpoints and materials into the curriculum that reflect various cultures, experiences, and perspectives. They employ diverse teaching methods to address different learning styles and needs, incorporating collaborative projects, discussions, and experiential learning opportunities to engage all students effectively.

Additionally, the School actively conducts and promotes research that tackles issues related to equity, diversity, and inclusion. This includes studying the effects of social policies on marginalized groups, such as drug users, individuals living with HIV, and sex workers. Furthermore, the School collaborates with various community organizations to introduce real-world perspectives into the classroom and research environments, thereby enriching the educational experience and positively contributing to community well-being.

The Successful Candidate

We seek a scholar with a PhD or equivalent credential, whose research program focuses on Crime and Inequality. The successful candidate must have research and teaching interests in crime and inequality demonstrated by a PhD in Criminology or a related discipline. Ideal applicants must have a strong and evolving publication record, emphasizing a commitment to high-quality research across a diverse range of outlets, including academic publications, community-based projects, policy outcomes, and participation in advisory boards and governmental bodies. Applicants should have an established publication record in leading scholarly journals appropriate to their rank, alongside a strong research pipeline that demonstrates a focus on high-quality projects targeted for publication in reputable journals. A proven track record of obtaining grants and a demonstrated history of successful research are essential. Additionally, we value candidates who have experience managing inclusive research groups that integrate diverse students and colleagues, fostering an environment of collaboration and innovation. Strong endorsements by referees of high standing will be required. Further support can be provided by publications that make community-based contributions relevant to criminology, a recognized contribution to the literature, as well as accolades and awards. The successful candidate must demonstrate evidence of teaching effectiveness through their submission of a teaching portfolio/dossier that provides a discussion of their experience with and/or understanding of inclusive teaching, mentoring graduate students, and how the candidate would meet the needs of equity-deserving students (see below for details on teaching dossier).

We additionally invite those whose scholarship is grounded in Indigenous knowledge, methodologies and/or epistemologies and whose scholarship might be distinct from Western academic traditions and/or follow ethical principles of community direction and governance.

The focus on Crime and Inequality situates the Chair at the center of the most important debates and trends in the field. The criminal justice system mirrors the rest of society in sometimes producing, and often exacerbating, inequalities. Research in crime and inequality captures some of the most pressing societal issues in Canada 鈥� from the over-representation of certain ethnic groups or racialized minorities in crime statistics to the differential risks of victimization to which certain groups are subjected. The successful applicant will demonstrate how their research agenda is centered around issues of crime and inequality, broadly defined.

The successful applicant will be expected to engage in innovative research, work with individuals and communities with lived/ing-experience, build relationships with external stakeholders (e.g., in government), and assume a leadership role that bridges research strengths, knowledge mobilization, and policy or practice impact. Other expectations include undergraduate and graduate teaching and supervision, mentorship of junior faculty members, and service to the Faculty and University.

We seek a colleague whose professional track record illustrates 丁香园AV鈥檚 values, including values of equity, diversity and inclusion, and commitment to respectful interactions with students, faculty and staff.
