CJS390H1-S (Summer Term): "Special Topics in Jewish Studies"
The Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies is pleased to announce that in the Summer 2021 academic session it will offer one half course (0.5 FCE) at the undergraduate level that will be taught by a CJS Graduate student under the rubric of "Special Topics”. The half-course will be offered in the second summer semester (July-August 2021).
The courses will be offered as H units (two classes per week/4 hours total per week). CJS390H1-S will be offered in the second summer semester on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:00–8:00pm.
Due to the current situation with COVID-19, the University of Toronto is offering Dual Delivery model courses for Summer 2021. You will be expected to deliver your course through the HyFlex Model: Lectures will be delivered in-person (if permitted by UofT and Public Health guidelines) and live-streamed and recorded on an online platform (e.g. Bb Collaborate, Microsoft Teams software, etc.). This means students can attend lectures in-person on campus OR watch the live-stream online at the allotted time of the lecture. If UofT and Public Health guidelines do *not* permit in-person teaching, this course will be Online Synchronous.
Graduate students are invited to propose courses within their own areas of expertise; the proposals will be adjudicated on a competitive basis. Suitability of topic proposals will be assessed on the basis of academic promise and appropriateness to the Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies’ undergraduate curriculum, including how well the proposals address the skills, and curricular needs of Centre’s students, second and third year students in particular.
Preference will be given to applicants who have completed at least two years of doctoral study and have passed the comprehensive examinations. The topics may be related to the applicant’s dissertation topic, but this is not obligatory.
The rate of pay will be the amount stipulated by the CUPE3902 Unit 1 collective agreement for course instructors which is currently $8,219 (inclusive of vacation pay).
Duties: preparing and presenting four hours of lectures a week (two lectures of two hours each per week); uploading lectures onto online platform; keeping online course platform up to date at all times; grading papers and final assessments (including make-up examinations if required); and other pedagogical and administrative tasks associated with an undergraduate course.
Applicants should provide a one-page prospectus of the course they would like to teach, as well as a detailed syllabus and an up-to-date curriculum vitae and the name(s) of one or more referees who can comment on their work and teaching potential.
Applications should be submitted electronically to cjs.events@utoronto.ca. The subject heading should be Student Initiated Proposals. Questions about the program can also be addressed to Professor Michael Rosenthal at cjs.director@utoronto.ca.
Deadline for applications will be 12:00pm on Friday, February 19, 2021. The results of the competition will be announced within a few days of the closing date.
The Centre’s hiring policy is available in the Centre or in the CUPE 3902 Office. This job is posted in accordance with the CUPE 3902 Unit 1 collective agreement.
