The Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology at OISE/UT invites applications for the position of Director, Institute of Child Study . This is a continuing tenure-stream position, with the appointment as Director for a five-year term.

The Institute of Child Study focuses on the advanced study of children and on the preparation of teachers; it incorporates an active research centre, a laboratory school (for children of ages 3 ­ 12), an infant centre, and a research-oriented M.A. program leading to both teaching certification and eligibility for further graduate study. Its three main functions ­ research, children's programs, and academic programs ­ support and strengthen each other.

The Director is responsible for providing academic and administrative leadership and support for these functions and their respective leaders, and for ensuring optimal balance of resources among functions. In addition, the Director is expected to promote collaboration within the Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology and the rest of the University, and to build connections with the larger research and professional communities. It is expected that the Director's academic administrative duties will be approximately half-time.

The preferred candidate will possess a doctoral degree, be widely recognized as a scholar in a field related to child development and education, and have administrative experience. Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. The preferred starting date for the appointment is as soon as possible after January 1, 2001.

Applications, which must include full curriculum vitae, should be submitted by October 31, 2000 to Professor Michael Fullan, Dean, OISE/UT, 252 Bloor Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 1V6. Three confidential letters of reference should be sent directly to Dean Fullan by the same date. The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its community. The University especially welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, and others who may contribute to further diversification of ideas.
