We acknowledge that the Vancouver Campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC) is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam).

The Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering (the “Department”), part of the Faculty of Applied Science at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Vancouver campus, invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of Surface Mining Engineering at the rank of Assistant Professor of Teaching. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Faculty of Applied Science is committed to offering equitable and competitive salaries, commensurate with the qualifications and experience of the candidate. The starting salary range is $120,000–$140,000 annually plus a comprehensive benefits package. For details, see https://hr.ubc.ca/benefits.

The UBC’s Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering offers a broad professional degree program, integrating courses on engineering principles, earth and mineral sciences, mining and mineral processing case studies, health, safety and environmental issues, social sciences and management, as well as economics and business. Emphasis is on providing students with comprehensive knowledge and hands-on skills to succeed in the industry. Our faculty members are active within the industry through research, consulting activities and involvement in professional societies. Further information is available at www.mining.ubc.ca.

This position provides an opportunity to pursue a career focused on excellence in teaching, curriculum design, and educational leadership in a professionally oriented engineering program with strong industry connections.

The successful candidate will be expected to engage in educational leadership activities, including curriculum development, teaching and learning innovation, and the development of new or revised courses aligned with evolving industry needs. Contributions may include advancing experiential learning opportunities, such as field-based instruction or design-focused courses, and supporting continuous improvement of the undergraduate curriculum.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
