Description:
The Vancouver School of Economics at the University of British Columbia invites applications for up to four tenure-stream professorial positions. Starting date: July 1, 2015. We are seeking outstanding candidates primarily in the fields of Economic Development, Empirical Industrial Organization, Political Economy, and Environment/Resource Economics, but in truly exceptional cases, for the position of Associate Professor, candidates working outside of these fields may be given consideration. Each successful candidate will be appointed to the rank appropriate to their level of experience. Positions are subject to final budgetary approval.

Qualifications: For appointment at the Assistant Professor level, the candidate must have a Ph.D. (or solid indication of imminent completion) in a relevant field, and demonstrate excellence or clear promise of excellence in teaching and in research. For appointment at the Associate or Full Professor level, the candidate must have a Ph.D., a proven record of outstanding research and excellence in teaching, and a track record of effective Ph.D. supervision. The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an active program of research, teaching, graduate supervision, and service. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The University of British Columbia hires on the basis of merit and is strongly committed to employment equity and diversity within its community. We especially welcome applications from members of visible minority groups, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities, and others with the skills and knowledge to engage productively with diverse communities. We encourage all qualified persons to apply; Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada will, however, be given priority.

Application Requirements:
  • Application Instructions Below
  • Letters of Reference Link
Application deadline: 11/15/2014
Application Instructions:
Applications must include a c.v., evidence of teaching effectiveness, samples of research papers, and at least three confidential reference letters submitted directly for Assistant Professor-level applicants.
