Job Description

The Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto invites applications for a full-time tenure stream position at the rank of Professor and will serve as Director of the  Tanenbaum Institute for Science in Sport , with an anticipated start date of May 1, 2026.  The appointment as Director will be for an initial 5-year term, which may be renewable following a favourable review.

This search aligns with the University’s commitment to strategically and proactively promote diversity among our community members ( Statement on Equity, Diversity & Excellence ). Recognizing that Black, Indigenous, and other Racialized communities have experienced inequities that have developed historically and are ongoing, we strongly welcome and encourage candidates from those communities to apply. 

Preference will be given to candidates who self-identify as Indigenous. Recognizing that there are a variety of terms that potential candidates may use to self-identify, the University uses the term “Indigenous” in this search, which forms part of the U of T Response to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to encompass the people of Turtle Island, including those who identify as First Nations, Métis, Inuk (Inuit), Alaska Native, Native American, and Native Hawaiian people. 

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate kinesiology program teaching and student mentorship and to increase opportunities for kinesiology students to conduct research in associated areas of scholarship. Contributions to service through engagement on Department or Faculty committees will also be expected. 

The Director of the Tanenbaum Institute for Science in Sport (TISS) will lead the Institute in realizing its mission and vision, providing expert leadership, management, and administration. Working closely with the External and Scientific Advisory Committees, the Director will refine and implement the Institute's research foci and foster collaboration among TISS, the University of Toronto, the University of Toronto Sports Medicine Program, Sinai Health, the Toronto Academic Health Science Network, and sports science leaders across Canada and beyond. 

The Director will also stimulate and promote the Institute's research, including collaborative seed projects that will span the Institute's three partners, with support from the Research Accelerator Fund. The Director will also be expected to play a leadership role in solidifying the financial sustainability of the TISS and its various research, research training, knowledge mobilization and public engagement vehicles.  Such leadership will include interactions with those with relevant interests and financial resources, including potential donors in collaboration with U of T and/or Sinai Health advancement staff, high performance sports organizations including professional and national level sport governing bodies, industrial and other commercial sectors.  

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. 

The Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education (KPE) at the University of Toronto has made major contributions to its mission of developing, advancing and disseminating knowledge about physical activity and health and its interactions through, education, research, leadership and the provision of opportunity. With a culturally diverse student body of more than 1000 undergraduate students and 140 graduate students, as well as 35 faculty members from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, ours is an intellectually rich and supportive community, guided by the highest standards of scholarship with a commitment to equity and social justice. The successful candidate will join an internationally recognized faculty whose commitments to equity and access are reflected in our research, education, policy and practice. In keeping with this commitment, particular attention will be given to candidates from under-represented groups.
