The Strategy and Business Economics (SBE) Division of the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver Campus) invites applications for a tenure track faculty position at the Assistant Professor rank; we will also consider applications at the Associate and full Professor rank. We are inviting applications from researchers in international trade and/or industrial organization.

Applicants must have a record of research commensurate with the rank and a demonstrated successful experience in teaching, and senior-level candidates should have accomplished excellence in research. Entry-level applicants should demonstrate research productivity in international trade and/or industrial organization or a closely related field and should have completed their Ph.D. or be very close to completion. We welcome applications from outstanding candidates who demonstrate a strong interest in applying economic insights to decision-making in businesses. We prioritize candidates with experience and publications but will consider exceptional applicants who are close to completion of their Ph.D.

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 contributing to other teaching and administrative initiatives of the Strategy and Business Economics Division and the Sauder School of Business. Candidates at the senior level will be expected to provide leadership that will enhance the reputation of the Strategy and Business Economics Division and the School. Teaching and service requirements are similar to other research-intensive universities.

Appointment is available July 1, 2027, and is subject to final budgetary approval. The expected salary range for the Assistant Professor rank is from $210,000-$270,000 per annum. Salaries for appointments at the Associate or Full professor rank will be commensurate with experience.

The Division consists of economists who conduct research in areas such as international trade, industrial organization, public policy, innovation, and urban and real estate economics. More information about the SBE Division can be found on its web site at https://www.sauder.ubc.ca/thought-leadership/divisions/strategy-and-business-economics. The SBE Division collaborates with the Vancouver School of Economics in a joint Bachelor of International Economics program.

A full application package should include:

1. a cover letter explaining your interest in UBC Sauder,

2. a curriculum vitae,

3. a research statement and two research papers,

4. a teaching statement, along with a record of teaching effectiveness

5. letters of reference (three at the assistant professor level and four at the associate or full professor level). Letters are to be sent separately by the letter writers.

The deadline for applications is Monday, November 9, 2026; however, applications may be considered after this date until the position is filled. Applications should be submitted online through https://econjobmarket.org/.

In line with recommendations from the American Economic Association, we will conduct all first-round job interviews via Zoom. This replaces the in-person interviews that are normally conducted at the ASSA meetings. Following these interviews, candidates who move to the final round of consideration will be asked to visit UBC in person.

Subject to budgetary approval, the position starts on July 1, 2027. Information regarding hiring is available on our website at: http://www.sauder.ubc.ca/Faculty/People/Faculty_Openings

Applicants to faculty positions at the UBC Sauder School of Business are asked to complete the following equity survey: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aVtaMWjwsMEcO4l.

Your participation is voluntary and anonymous. The information will not be used to determine employment eligibility. 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, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous person. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.
