Professor Chris Damaren’s first term as Director, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS), ends on June 30, 2021; he is eligible for reappointment. In accordance with the Policy on Appointment of Academic Administrators, we will be commencing the process to seek approval of an Advisory Committee to the Dean on the appointment of a Director, Institute for Aerospace Studies.
The Committee should normally be composed as follows:
- the Dean of the Faculty;
- three to five members of the teaching staff appointed to the Institute;
- one or two students;
- a librarian, where appropriate; and
- two to four other qualified individuals, at least two of whom shall be from outside the Institute.
I would appreciate receiving nominations for individuals to serve on the Advisory Committee by December 18, 2020. Please forward all nominations to the attention of the Dean (dean.engineering@utoronto.ca).
