Tenure-Stream Positions

On July 1, 1996, the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education merged with the Faculty of Education, University of Toronto to become the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto (OISE/UT).

Preferred candidates will possess a doctoral degree and a proven record of scholarly publication, and will be expected to make a strong contribution to preservice teacher education and graduate education.
