The University of British Columbia (UBC) and the Department of Civil Engineering acknowledges the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam people) on whose traditional, ancestral and unceded territory the University resides.

The Department of Civil Engineering at the UBC Vancouver campus invites applications for a full-time tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, specializing in equitable civil engineering systems. This position is part of the UBC’s President’s Academic Excellence Initiative (PAEI) within the Faculty of Applied Science. The successful applicant should demonstrate a commitment to excellence in research, teaching, and service.

PAEI background: The President’s Academic Excellence Initiative makes a substantial investment in new faculty positions and associated infrastructure across the academic units of the University of British Columbia. In the Faculty of Applied Science, the leadership of the constituent Schools and Departments has come together around a shared vision to build a like-minded community of scholars ready to challenge and create afresh prevailing ways of generating and applying impactful knowledge in areas related to Healthy, Equitable and Adaptable Cities & Communities.

Inequality and the climate emergency have long been pressing concerns, and their pertinence and implications have been amplified in the context of the global Covid-19 pandemic. As societies look towards creating new pathways to the future, it is more important than ever that the scholarly community seeks innovative approaches in the ways we study, learn and research. This includes how the questions we address are identified, how we do research and with whom, how we learn together across disciplinary boundaries and cultural traditions, and how we share and develop ideas and knowledge. If scholarly knowledge is to have impact, new methodological approaches are needed, creating new intellectual traditions which better contribute to the realisation of healthy, safe, inclusive and thriving communities.

The Faculty of Applied Science at UBC is uniquely positioned to advance this creative and impactful vision through a distinctive constellation of units, with expertise and academic programs in health, technology, design and communities guided by a Strategic Plan Transforming Tomorrow that prioritises transforming ourselves, our scholarship and our learning to address the urgent challenges facing communities and cities, near and far. The Faculty consists of three Schools: Nursing; Architecture and Landscape Architecture; and Community and Regional Planning; and six engineering departments: Chemical and Biological Engineering; Civil Engineering; Electrical and Computer Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; Materials Engineering; Mining Engineering; and the School of Biomedical Engineering.

This position In the context of this wider initiative, the Department of Civil Engineering seeks to hire a tenure-track Assistant Professor to develop a research program related to Civil Engineering design with explicit consideration of equity, ethics, and/or impacts on marginalized people and communities. Civil systems are central to the functioning of society, and the work of civil engineers, even highly technical analysis, often has enormous and unequal impacts on people and communities. Civil engineers must play a leading role in not just mitigating and adapting to climate change, but also addressing the disproportionate impacts of the climate emergency on vulnerable populations. In the Canadian context, it is also particularly important that the profession of civil engineering contributes to reconciliation with Indigenous communities.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop an independent and internationally recognized research program that advances civil engineering design by incorporating the complexities of people’s interactions with the built and natural environments. This socio-technical framing can apply to nearly any area of civil engineering, and so this position can sit within any (or multiple) of the sub-disciplines in the Department (structural, geotechnical, environmental, transportation, hydrotechnical, etc.). The position will involve teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, the supervision of graduate students at the Masters and Doctoral levels and the provision of service to the University and the broader community. The successful candidate must embrace productive relationships across cultural differences and develop an equitable, diverse and inclusive learning and research approach that promotes a respectful environment for all students, staff and faculty. As part of this PAEI cluster, the successful candidate will be expected to participate in and lead collaborative and multi-disciplinary initiatives through engagement with academic and non-academic partners.

If you are unsure whether your expertise falls within the terms of this position, you are welcome to contact the Chair of the Search Committee directly, providing details of your field of expertise (see ‘For further information’ section below).

Applicant qualifications All applicants should have a record of research excellence and a commitment to the highest standards of teaching and service. In addition, applicants must be able to demonstrate how their research seeks to address contemporary societal challenges through innovative knowledge mobilization.

The successful candidate for the position will have:

• A Ph.D. in civil engineering or a closely related field,

The University is committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive and equitable work environment for all members of its workforce. An inclusive work environment presumes an environment where differences are accepted, recognized and integrated into current structures, planning and decision-making modes.

The University of British Columbia - The Outer Space Institute

The Outer Space Institute (OSI) is inviting applications for two post-doctoral research fellowships in the field of space security, broadly defined.

The OSI is a network of world-leading space experts united by their commitment to highly innovative, transdisciplinary research that addresses grand challenges facing the continued use and exploration of space. Comprised of physical scientists, social scientists, lawyers, engineers, industry leaders, and policy makers, the OSI seeks to identify problems and solutions that have been overlooked by other groups.

The two post-doc fellowships provide the same degree of support as top Canadian post-doctoral fellowships: CAD$70,000 per year (taxable). They are for 2 years, with the possibility of a short extension. Additional funds will be available for travel and research.

The positions will be based in the Department of Political Science at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, but the research will be transdisciplinary and candidates from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply, including but not limited to engineering and physical sciences, law, and social sciences. A PhD or equivalent postgraduate degree is generally required, though candidates with relevant professional experience will also be considered.

The post-doctoral fellows will work with Professors Michael Byers (Department of Political Science) and Aaron Boley (Department of Physics and Astronomy) on research in the field of space security, broadly defined to include safety and sustainability. They will also have time to pursue their own research interests. Our intent is to help launch promising young scholars into highly successful careers.

How to Apply Interested applicants should send the following to Andrew Falle (he/him), Research Coordinator, Outer Space Institute, at: coord@outerspaceinstitute.ca. 

• Short cover letter
• Curriculum vitae
• List of publications

Equity and Diversity Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse community fosters inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code, including, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous person.
