From traditional academics to trades, from certificates to graduate degrees, TRU offers students a choice from over 140 on-campus programs and 60 Open Learning programs. We serve more than 25,000 students on our campuses in Kamloops and Williams Lake and via distance or online courses and programs through Open Learning. Research, creation and innovation thrive in TRU’s open, flexible learning environment.

The TRU School of Education seeks to fill a full-time tripartite tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor. We are looking for education scholars specializing in the following areas of educational foundations: history and philosophy of education; and experience in supporting students in the writing of major completion papers (e.g., Capstone).

It is expected that service to the School of Education, TRU, and the broader community is greeted with enthusiasm and an ongoing, sustained commitment to substantial committee work and other leadership opportunities.

We are a faculty embracing of diversity, an essential element of the fabric of Canada. Our on-campus student body in the School of Education is approximately 20% Indigenous students and 40% International students.

We seek individuals who are keen to take on leadership roles within the School of Education.
