About the Department
The UBC English Department includes 53 tenure-stream faculty, plus full-time sessional instructors and teaching assistants. It has a large and active Graduate Program, an Honours program, a large Major Program in Literature, a Major in Language, and a First Year Program. Faculty and students are encouraged in their wide disciplinary and interdisciplinary interests. New faculty are given some course release in their first two years as well as a start-up research grant.
The University of British Columbia hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity. We encourage all qualified persons to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority. Applications must identify citizenship and/immigration status.
