Assistant Professor of Teaching
2 weeks ago
In the 2025 QS university rankings, UBC is ranked 12^th in the world for environmental sciences, and our Environmental Science BSc (ENSC) is internationally respected for its ability to train practitioners and prepare students for graduate and professional programs. EOAS administers the ENSC program with support from IRES, and the program is now expanding to run jointly between these academic units. The Assistant Professor of Teaching will help build strong collaboration between EOAS and IRES. The position has an expected start date of September 2025 or soon as possible thereafter and a salary range of $130,000 to $140,000 per annum.
The successful candidate will teach core undergraduate courses in environmental science, including introductory survey classes, communication, and quantitative/methods courses. They will also be expected to advance curriculum and pedagogy in ENSC and create innovative instructional environments. Candidates must have a natural science background that includes completing a PhD in an environmental science-related field, with preference given to applicants with backgrounds in (i) Energy Transitions and Sustainability or (ii) Environmental Impacts on Human Health. They must also provide evidence of (a) excellence in, and commitment to, undergraduate teaching; (b) ability to work collaboratively as well as independently; (c) promise of educational leadership at UBC, nationally and/or internationally; and (d) effective communication skills. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in ENSC course and curriculum development, working with EOAS, IRES and UBC peers in the Education Leadership professorial stream to advance the university's teaching and learning mandates. Recent initiatives undertaken by UBC's Educational Leadership faculty in Environmental Science include authoring textbooks, pioneering community-based and community-generated capstone projects, and developing online encyclopedias of taxonomy—such initiatives position UBC as a hub for innovation in environmental and sustainability education and evidence-based pedagogy. Candidates will also be expected to contribute to departmental service within and beyond the ENSC specialization.
We seek candidates with the capacity and interest to interact with other teaching and learning clusters within and outside UBC, developing connections and fostering relationships with local community organizations, professional societies, and Indigenous communities. UBC's campuses are located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Syilx (Okanagan) Peoples and of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil Waututh) Nations.
EOAS and IRES are dedicated to practicing excellence in evidence-based learning and provide a supportive environment and strong peer mentoring for new faculty members. The successful applicant will demonstrate a commitment to creating innovative instructional environments in the classroom and/or field. They will also strongly commit to equity, diversity and inclusion, working to create a welcoming community for all, particularly those who are historically, persistently or systemically marginalized. EOAS and IRES are committed to supporting the success of individuals from traditionally disadvantaged groups, building on existing efforts across UBC to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion in our research and teaching missions.
