The School of Nursing at the University of British Columbia - Vancouver campus invites applications from Nurse Practitioners for a full-time tenure track Assistant Professor of Teaching position. We are particularly interested in applicants with educational leadership. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2026, or potentially earlier if feasible.
The School of Nursing at UBC is the oldest university-based nursing program in Canada, with a global reputation for excellence in research, innovative teaching, and values rooted in health equity, social justice, and community engagement. Our Masters of Nursing-Nurse Practitioner program, which offers a family nurse practitioner focus with an emphasis on primary care, is expanding to help meet the needs of BC’s primary health care system. UBC’s Vancouver campus is situated at the tip of Point Grey on the unceded lands of the Musqueam people, surrounded by forest, ocean and mountains. Consistently ranked as one of the most diverse cities in Canada, Vancouver is also one of the most livable cities in the world.
Positions in the Professor of Teaching stream offer a career path based on excellence and innovation in teaching and educational leadership in the intellectually exciting atmosphere of a top-tier School of Nursing. The successful candidates will be highly engaged in curriculum development, clinical supervision of NP students, and pedagogical innovation through teaching theory and clinical courses in nursing; part of the role will include sufficient practice hours to maintain NP licensure in BC. Applicants must either demonstrate or possess a clear potential and interest in achieving excellence in teaching and learning, in educational leadership, and in providing service to the University and the nursing profession. The successful candidate is expected to work closely with other members of the School of Nursing and in potential collaboration with various health professions programs around team-based primary care education. Applicants must have earned at least a master’s degree in nursing, although a PhD in nursing is preferred, and must be registered or eligible to be registered as a Nurse Practitioner with the BC College of Nurses and Midwives.
Applicants should submit a letter stating their career objectives and suitability for the position. Please include an overview of relevant experience and achievements, and approaches to teaching and educational leadership. Please also include a statement on how your experiences and/or knowledge will support the School of Nursing’s commitments to anti-racism, Indigenous health and cultural safety.
