              University of Northern British Columbia
    
                         Academic Positions
    
    
    
         The University of Northern British Columbia is Canada's
    newest university, and the fourth publicly-funded university
    in the Province. It has a  mandate  to  serve  the  northern
    two-thirds  of British Columbia, and will have a main campus
    in Prince George (pop. 71,000). The University's goal is  to
    establish  a  strong  reputation  in  both  instruction  and
    research. It will offer a range of Arts, Science and profes-
    sional  programs  specifically targeted to meet the needs of
    northern  British  Columbia.  Graduate  programs   will   be
    offered,  and the University will conduct research in a wide
    range of areas, with an emphasis on subjects of relevance to
    northern  British  Columbia.  International contacts will be
    developed primarily in the Circumpolar North and the Pacific
    Rim.
    
         The University, which is to  open  fully  in  September
    1994,  will  make  40  academic appointments in the fall and
    winter of 1992-1993. Successful applicants will assume their
    positions  at dates to be negotiated, but no later than Sep-
    tember 1, 1993. Rank  and  salary  are  open,  according  to
    experience.
    
         The University is particularly interested in applicants
    with  an  interdisciplinary  perspective  and  research  and
    teaching specialization within their disciplines in Northern
    Studies, First Nations Studies, Women's Studies, Environmen-
    tal Studies,  and  International  Studies  (Circumpolar  and
    Pacific  Rim).  In  professional  fields, Northern and First
    Nations' experience is preferred. UNBC has designated prior-
    ity  areas  for  this competition for some disciplines; how-
    ever, applicants from other specialty  areas  will  be  con-
    sidered especially when no priority areas have been listed.

         A commitment to the  maintenance  of  high  quality  in
    undergraduate and graduate teaching is essential. Candidates
    will have records of scholarly achievement  or,  if  junior,
    should  be  able to demonstrate their potential.  Candidates
    should have a record of securing financial support for their
    research  and  should  be  prepared  to illustrate how their
    research activities fit with areas of relevance to UNBC. The
    PhD or the highest academic qualification appropriate to the
    field is expected. Evidence of other  scholarly  or  profes-
    sional accomplishments in exceptional circumstances may sub-
    stitute for academic degrees.
    
         In accordance with Canadian  Immigration  requirements,
    priority  will  be  given to Canadian citizens and permanent
    residents of Canada. UNBC is committed to the  principle  of
    equity in employment.
    
         UNBC will hold another institution-wide competition for
    faculty  positions  in  the fall of 1993. By September 1994,
    the University expects to have approximately 150 faculty  on
    staff.
    
         Please send a letter of application,  resume,  and  the
    names of three referees to the following address. Preference
    will be given to those who apply prior to October 30, 1992.
