Course Instructor & Sessional Lecturer Teaching Opportunities

Teaching Opportunities in the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, St. George Campus

Instructor positions are posted to the relevant units of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 3902 (CUPE 3902). The information on this page is posted pursuant to the CUPE 3902 Unit 3 collective agreement.

CUPE 3902 has two units that are directly relevant to teaching in the Department of Computer Science:

  • Unit 1 is for University of Toronto students (both undergraduate and graduate) and postdoctoral fellows. In this unit, instructor postings are for “Course Instructors.” If you have questions about Unit 1 postings, please contact course_instructor@cs.toronto.edu.

  • Unit 3 is for everyone else. In this unit, instructor postings are for “Sessional Lecturers.” For Unit 3 positions, preference in hiring is given to qualified persons holding the rank of Sessional Lecturer II and Sessional Lecturer III. If you have questions about Unit 3 postings, please contact sessional_lecturer@cs.toronto.edu.

Individuals instructors will only be eligible to apply for positions in one Unit; postings will normally be posted to either Unit 1 or Unit 3 and not to both Units.

Positions and instructions for applying in both units are posted directly to the relevant posting website:

Typically, positions are posted 2–4 months before the position begins. Unit 3 “emergency postings” may be posted closer to the start of the position. Unexpected vacancies may arise at any time.
