"Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Transportation"

The Operations and Logistics Division of the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver Campus) invites applications for up to two tenure-track faculty positions in transportation. Although preference will be given to applications at the Assistant Professor rank, we will also consider applications at the Associate and Full Professor ranks. Applicants must have a record of research commensurate with the rank and a demonstrated successful experience in teaching. Senior-level candidates should have accomplished excellence in research. Entry-level candidates should demonstrate an interest in and potential to conduct high-quality research in these fields and be very close to completing or have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant area such as transportation, operations research, operations management, engineering, applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, or other related areas. 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, master’s and Ph.D. programs, supervising Ph.D. students, as well as contributing to other teaching and administrative initiatives of the Operations and Logistics Division and the UBC Sauder School of Business. Candidates at the senior level will be expected to provide leadership to enhance the reputation of the Operations and Logistics Division and the School. Teaching and service requirements are similar to other research-intensive universities.

Applications must be emailed to ORRecruit@sauder.ubc.ca. Please submit your complete application before 5 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on October 1, 2025; however, applications may be considered after this date until filled.

• A cover letter that summarizes your research, teaching, service, and/or other relevant information.
• Curriculum vitae
• Research papers (recently published research papers or current working papers)
• Teaching dossier or record of teaching effectiveness, if applicable
• Three letters of reference (Four for the associate and full professor rank). They may be included as part of the application package or may be submitted separately by the letter writers to ensure confidentiality.

Subject to budgetary approval, the position starts on July 1, 2026. The expected pay range for this position is $180,000-$288,000 per annum, with an additional 2/9th stipend calculated based on the base salary.
