Tenure-Track Position in Business and Climate Change at the Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia
The Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver Campus, Canada) invites applications for a tenure track faculty position in the broad area of business and climate change. The rank of this position is open across the Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels.
We are particularly interested in candidates whose climate-related expertise lies in areas of fundamental interest to business. Examples include, but are not limited to: climate finance and investing, ESG accounting and reporting with particular emphasis on climate, climate economics and markets, green operations and supply chain management, climate risk and analytics, and climate-focused topics in decision making, marketing, and responsible leadership. We note that the position will have a primary home in one of the following divisions within the School: Accounting and Management Information Systems, Finance, Marketing and Behavioural Science, Operations and Logistics, Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources, and Strategy and Business Economics.
Applicants must have a record of research commensurate with the rank they apply for. Senior-level candidates should have accomplished excellence in research and will be expected to publish high-impact research in the top journals in their respective field. Early career candidates should demonstrate an interest in and potential to conduct high quality research in one of the core divisions of the school, and be very close to completing or have completed a Ph.D. in a related field. Candidates will be expected to teach climate change topics and courses in our undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs, and should demonstrate experience and/or aptitude in teaching such courses. The successful candidate will be appointed at the rank appropriate to their qualification and experience.
Duties include developing and maintaining an active research program aimed at making a significant contribution to the profession, teaching in the undergraduate, MBA and Ph.D. programs, supervising Ph.D. students, as well as participating in other administrative initiatives at the UBC Sauder School of Business. Teaching and service requirements are similar to other research-intensive universities. The ideal candidate will also have the ability to engage with industry partners.
Applications should be submitted via email to: deansoffice.reception@sauder.ubc.ca. Please submit your complete application before 5pm, Pacific Daylight Time on November 24th, 2023.
Applications should include:
Cover letter that summarizes your research, teaching, service, and/or other relevant information. Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are important components of the UBC Sauder culture. If you wish, you may include in your cover letter any experiences regarding equity, diversity and inclusion that you think are relevant and/or comment on your ability to work with a culturally diverse student body (giving specific examples where possible).
Curriculum vitae
Research papers (i.e., two recent published research papers or current working papers)
Teaching dossier or record of teaching effectiveness, if applicable
3 letters of reference (these may be included as part of the application package, or may be submitted separately by the letter writers, to ensure confidentiality)
Your participation is voluntary and anonymous. The information will not be used to determine eligibility for employment. The answers will be collated to provide data that can assist us in understanding the diversity of our applicant pool and identifying potential barriers to the employment of designated equity group members. This survey takes only a minute to complete. You may self-identify in one or more of the designated equity groups. You may decline to identify in any or all of the questions by choosing "prefer not to disclose." Thank you in advance for your participation.
Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse community fosters the 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, Métis, Inuit, or Indigenous person. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.
