Located in downtown Toronto, the largest and most culturally diverse city in Canada and on the territory of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee and the Wendat Peoples, the Department of Marketing Management in the Ted Rogers School of Management (TRSM) at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) invites applications for three [3] tenure track positions at the rank of Assistant Professor effective July 1, 2026 subject to final budgetary approval.
We are considering candidates researching in a variety of marketing areas, particularly people with a strength in digital marketing and AI or candidates who have a research profile that fits with the University’s Strategic Plan. The positions are open to candidates who use a wide range of methodologies, including qualitative, behavioural, and quantitative approaches. Additionally, for two of the three positions, preference will be given to candidates who fit the descriptions presented below.
We have a particular interest in a candidate whose research program would contribute to and leverage the unique resources of our emoLab, a Faculty Research Center dedicated to the critical study of emotion, consumer markets, and algorithmic capitalism. The ideal candidate's research program should focus on the sociocultural, political, and economic impacts of algorithmic systems on consumer behavior and society. We are especially interested in scholars working within critical marketing, Consumer Culture Theory (CCT), or related interpretive research traditions who can advance emoLab’s mission to understand how algorithmic technologies disrupt marketing systems through emotion as a lived social experience. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to utilize emoLab’s unique psychophysiological resources (e.g., fEMG, SCR) to complement and extend their qualitative or theoretical work, thereby creating innovative mixed-methods research with meaningful societal impact. Interested candidates are strongly encouraged to review the emoLab’s three-year report for a comprehensive overview of our mission, research streams, and facilities: https://emolab.my.canva.site/.
We also have a particular interest in a candidate whose research program would contribute to and leverage the unique resources of our Future of Sport Lab (FSL), a Faculty Research Centre and global sport business incubator dedicated to current and future trends in sport business, sport business innovation, and sport marketing, supported by significant funding and leading industry partnerships throughout the Canadian sport ecosystem. The ideal candidate's research program should broadly focus on the business and marketing of sport, with an understanding of related sport business innovation, and have experience with related knowledge translation and industry partnerships. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to utilize FSL's resources. For more information, interested candidates are strongly encouraged to review the Future of Sport Lab's offerings available via the website: https://www.futuresportlab.com/.
The successful candidates will engage in a combination of teaching, scholarly research and creative activities and service duties, maintaining an inclusive, equitable, and collegial work environment across all activities. Responsibilities will include: teaching a range of courses in the core curriculum in the marketing management department and supervising at the undergraduate and graduate levels; establishing and maintaining a strong research agenda; collaborating with other university departments, partners, and the industry; and service duties at the Department, Faculty and University levels, including participating in curriculum development and in redefining the strategic direction of the unit.
The successful candidates shall hold a PhD or a DBA with a specialization in Marketing or a related field. Candidates who are ABD will be considered, but should be able to defend by the start of the position. In addition, the successful candidate must present evidence of:
- a strong research portfolio including publications in top-tier academic journals (as referenced in the ABDC list) in Marketing;
- an established and successful research portfolio that is active, innovative and impactful, resulting in achievements such as peer reviewed publications, working papers, book chapters, presentations at significant conferences, awards and accolades. Preference will be given to candidates who also possess noteworthy activities relating to their research (e.g., industry partnerships/experience) that help share scholarly outcomes to a broader audience, as well as a commitment to collegial service;
- excellence in teaching through a teaching dossier (which may include a teaching philosophy, teaching accomplishments, including experience with course/curriculum review/development, excellent contemporary pedagogical practice, sample syllabi and teaching evaluations);
- strong communication and expository skills and a demonstrated ability to supervise undergraduate and graduate students;
- a commitment to our values of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion as it pertains to service, teaching, and scholarly research or creative activities, including a demonstrated ability to make learning accessible and inclusive for a diverse student population; and
