About the Faculty of Health, Community and Education

The Department of Health and Physical Education, Faculty of Health, Community and Education at Mount Royal University invites applications for a 1-year limited term position which will commence August 15, 2026, subject to final budgetary approval, at the Rank of Assistant Professor.

The Department of Health and Physical Education offers a fresh approach to health and physical education that is unique to Western Canada. Mount Royal's distinctive four-year program emphasizes a comprehensive approach to health and physical education while providing students with valuable hands-on experiential learning opportunities in- and outside the classroom.

The Department currently offers a Bachelor of Health and Physical Education degree with specializations in four majors (Athletic Therapy, Ecotourism and Outdoor Leadership, Physical Literacy, and Sport and Recreation Management) and a Post Bachelor's certificate in Athletic Therapy.

About the Role

New faculty are hired into one of two work patterns. The teaching/scholarship/service pattern (TSS) focuses on teaching with the requirement that the faculty member be involved in a research program as well as service to the Mount Royal community. The teaching/service pattern (TS) focuses on teaching and service only.

The successful candidate for this role will be hired into the teaching/service pattern (TS). The successful candidate will teach the equivalent of eight three-credit-hour courses per academic year (typically four courses in each of the fall and winter semesters).  The candidate may also have coordination responsibilities for the Athletic Therapy program up to a maximum of two course releases. 

The department is seeking an individual with an ability to teach in Athletic Therapy and related areas of specialization. All applicants must be a certified Athletic Therapist in Canada in good standing and have completed a Master's degree, however a PhD is preferred.  Experience with program coordination is an asset.  The successful candidate will be able to teach in one or more of the following areas (in order of priority):

  • Professional Practice
  • Clinical and Field Practicum
  • Anatomy
  • Physical Literacy
  • Specific courses in the department for which we are seeking expertise include: ATTH 2050; ATTH 3150, ATTH 3152, ATTH 3160, ATTH 3162, ATTH 4150, ATTH 4152, PHYL 2530; course descriptions are available online at:
