The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) invites applications for a one-year term position in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the rank of Assistant Professor, with a proposed starting date of July 1, 2025. As an institution committed to the fostering of an inclusive and transformative learning environment, UNBC values high quality and growth in both teaching and scholarship.
UNBC is ranked as one of Canada’s top small research-intensive universities with a core campus in Prince George and three additional campuses across northern BC. UNBC provides broad support for faculty to develop their research and teaching capabilities, a strong mandate for growth, a modern and comprehensive campus, and a distinct quality of life in central British Columbia.
Nursing education at UNBC includes the Northern Baccalaureate Nursing Program (NBNP) in Fort St. John and Prince George offered over 5 consecutive semesters, a collaborative 4-year Northern Collaborative Baccalaureate Nursing Program (NCBNP) offered in conjunction with the College of New Caledonia (Prince George and Quesnel) and Coast Mountain College in Terrace, an MScN degree with thesis and project options, an MScN (Family Nurse Practitioner) degree, and a Certificate in Rural Nursing.

Applicants for this position should hold a PhD or be able to demonstrate substantial progress in a doctoral program, with a growing record of scholarly activity, as well as evidence of the potential for teaching excellence. A strong combination of research and scholarly activity, teaching excellence, and clinical nursing practice experience, who have demonstrated current clinical expertise in primary care, team-based settings, high acuity or advanced practice skills, pediatric nursing, maternity nursing, older adult nursing, mental health, Indigenous health, public health, population health, or rural/remote health, and experience teaching using synchronous and asynchronous online modalities as well as modalities suited to face-toface learning, will be a distinct asset. The successful candidate’s primary responsibilities will include development and delivery of courses that comprise a full generalist nursing curriculum; research and scholarship (active and developing); and establishing regional, national and international research linkages, including establishing linkages with the Northern Health Authority. Some program coordination and leadership responsibilities may be required (including policy and leadership development). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach in multiple modalities, including online and distance learning, within the undergraduate and graduate nursing programs.
Strong organizational and teamwork skills, as well as high-level communication skills, are essential. Current British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives RN registration, or eligibility for registration, is required. Travel to other campuses and northern communities will be necessary, and a valid BC driver’s license is required.
