A CURRENT CURRICULUM VITAE (CV)/RESUME

Your CV should include: education; relevant personal and work experience, both paid and unpaid; publications; professional activities; awards, honours, grants and fellowships, as applicable.

*Please submit your research statement and statement of interest   as one document through the  SGS application site  as either a Microsoft Word file or a PDF, under the research statement field.

RESEARCH STATEMENT

All applicants should proactively reach out to  Faculty members  conducting research in the area you are interested in to ensure that your research can be well supported by a faculty member.

Your research statement should be written in essay format and be a maximum of 1,000 words, double-spaced.

A research statement generally outlines: 1) the research you plan to undertake in a PhD; 2) support at the Faculty of Information. We have provided some prompts that may stimulate and guide your thinking:

1 . The research or project you plan to undertake in your PhD : What is the research you will conduct at the Faculty of Information? What fields or areas of research is your project in conversation with (demonstrated through a short literature review)? Who are the scholars (including researchers, artists, practitioners, community leaders,  elders, etc.) that have shaped your research interests? What is significant or novel about this research? Explain how your research contributes to intellectual diversity in the Faculty.

2. Support at the Faculty of Information: Why do you want to undertake this research at the Faculty of Information? Which faculty members do you propose to supervise your research and serve on your dissertation committee, and why? Have you met with these faculty members? Which courses and programs of study (including potential optional collaborative programs) will support your research? Are there research centres, institutions, or communities that can support your research?

• Be specific
• Include citations and a bibliography
• Include a short title for your research project
• Include specific details about achievements (academic, professional, or community)
• Write in clear, jargon-free language for an interdisciplinary committee

STATEMENT OF INTEREST

Your statement of interest should be written in essay format and be a maximum of 500 words, double-spaced. Your statement of interest generally outlines your background. We have provided some prompts that may stimulate and guide your thinking:

Your background : How did you become interested in this research? What led you to this proposed research? What background (academic, personal or professional) do you have that prepares you to pursue this project or area of research, and how do you need to grow? You should be specific about courses, essays, theses, research-creation, community organizing, activism and/or lived experiences that have prepared you to undertake the proposed research.

WRITING SAMPLE​

In the online application, you will be able to upload your writing sample to the portal at the end – during the “review” stage.

The writing sample is a piece of original academic work, around 3,000-8,000 words (double-spaced if not in published format).

It could be one of:

• a course paper
• an excerpt from your thesis or major research paper
• an article submitted for publication
• a chapter from a book or other similar publication

The writing sample is used to evaluate your writing skills, which are an important component of the PhD. This is easiest to do if the sample is single-authored. If you submit a collaboratively authored sample, please include a statement of contributions that explains your role.

ACADEMIC LETTERS OF REFERENCE

Three acadmemic letters are required . If you graduated more than five years ago, you may substitute professional letters of reference. Work-related referees should be direct supervisors who can comment on your skills that are useful in the academic environment.

In the online application, you will be asked to provide the contact information for your referees. Once you have paid the application fee your referees will be emailed by the School of Graduate Studies with instructions directing them to a secure website where they will submit electronically:

• a candidate assessment in a fillable confidential report form
• a reference letter

Suggested guidelines for reference letters:

• Letters should be 1-2 pages maximum
• Include how long you have known the applicant and in what capacity
• Outline the applicant’s strengths as a student/researcher, ideally with specific examples
• Avoid gendered language
• Include details such as: how would you describe the applicant’s intellectual characteristics? Their ability to carry out independent and collaborative research? What has prepared the applicant to undertake a PhD? How do you assess the applicant’s communication, research, and writing skills? Does the applicant possess personal qualities that will help them succeed in a PhD? Is there anything else we should know about the applicant that they may not have included in their research statement?

ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY – IF REQUIRED

Applicants whose first language is not English will need to submit an English proficiency test result.

Applicants whose first language is not English but who completed an Undergraduate or Graduate degree from an institution where English is used as the medium of instruction and examination may not require an English proficiency test. However, applicants will be required to provide a letter from their previous institution to verify that English is indeed used as the medium of instruction. This letter should be sent directly to the Faculty of Information on official institution letterhead and email.

The Admissions Committee reserves the right to require applicants to provide an English proficiency test result during the application process.

APPLICATION STATUS CHECK

You may log in to your profile on the  application website  to confirm the receipt of your supporting documents or amend your current contact information. Your application will be marked “Under Review” when it has gone to the Admission Committee for consideration.

REVIEW PROCESS

The Admissions Committee takes a holistic approach in reviewing candidates. Emphasis is not placed on any specific area but on the overall application. Meeting the minimum requirements of the Faculty of Information and the School of Graduate Studies does not guarantee admission.

Applicants may be contacted for an interview during the application review process.

Admission is based on the availability of a faculty member to support your research. It is important to us that our admitted PhD students are well supported in their area of research by their supervisors. Therefore, you should proactively reach out to  Faculty members who are conducting research in the area you are interested in ahead of time to ensure that you will have a supervisor who has the expertise to support your research.

Studying Anti-Social Behaviour in Social Media

Faculty Supervisor : Dr. Anatoliy Gruzd and Dr. Jenna Jacobson

Position : PhD Candidate

Duration : 1 year - Research Assistantship

Start date : September 1, 2021 (1 Year)

Program Description:

While often celebrated as the 'new normal' of contemporary life, social media has also given way to worrisome online anti-social behaviours that have very real consequences and demand substantive responses from scholars, industry, and governing bodies. Nearly 60% of Canadians (18 years old and older) have encountered hate speech, racist or sexist content online at least once a month (Toronto Met Leadership Lab, 2019), and one in every five young Canadians have experienced cyberbullying or cyberstalking (Statistics Canada, 2016).

In recognizing the exponential rise of online anti-social behaviour (often manifested in online trolling, cyberbullying, and expressions of hate speech), this initiative will provide a comprehensive evidence-based investigation of the types of abusive content individuals and businesses experience online, and the types of social media accounts/users that are engaged in generating and propagating such content. Based on a nationwide survey and empirical investigation across popular social media platforms, the objective of this research is to help explain anti-social acts occurring on social media in the Canadian context, develop and validate a theoretical framework and agent-based simulation models, and propose solutions to mitigate anti-social behaviours in online communities.

Application instructions

Candidates should submit the following materials electronically to [email protected] :  

• Cover Letter that describes your relevant background and skills, range of interests and career goals;
• Academic CV;
• Publication/writing sample (academic).
