**Working for the University of Alberta**

The University of Alberta acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 6 territory, and respects the histories, languages and cultures of First Nations, Métis, Inuit and all First Peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our vibrant community.

The University of Alberta is teeming with change makers, community builders, and world shapers who lead with purpose each and every day. We are home to more than 40,000 students in 200+ undergraduate and 500+ graduate programs, over 13,000 faculty and staff, 260,000 alumni worldwide and have been recognized as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for over a decade.

The University of Alberta is operating under a new model that consists of a hybrid of centralized and decentralized services which promotes consistency, avoids duplication, and supports a One University approach and service culture. Core to the model is the establishment of the university’s three new colleges: the College of Health Sciences (including the Faculties of Medicine & Dentistry, Rehabilitation Medicine, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nursing, Public Health, and Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation), the College of Natural and Applied Sciences (including the Faculties of Science, Engineering and Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences) and the College of Social Sciences and Humanities (including the Faculties of Arts, Education, Law, and the Alberta School of Business). There are also three stand-alone faculties — Augustana, Campus Saint-Jean and the Faculty of Native Studies — all serving the needs of distinct communities. Along with the colleges, they are essential to building One University.

Your work will have a meaningful influence on a fascinating cross section of people—from our students and stakeholders, to our renowned researchers and innovators who are quite literally curing diseases, making discoveries and generating solutions that make the world healthier, safer, stronger, and more just.
