The Department is committed to equity and diversity. Applicants are asked to include, as part of their application materials, a separate statement describing past experience in activities that promote diversity and inclusion, broadly understood, and/or plans to make future contributions. 

Applicants must have a PhD (or provide solid indication of imminent completion), publications, and experience teaching at the post-secondary level; they are expected to provide strong evidence of active and excellent research, and demonstrate a record of, or potential for, high quality teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an active program of research, teaching, graduate supervision, and service.

- The diversity statement described above, and 
- An example of their published research. 
In addition, applicants should arrange for three confidential letters of reference to be forwarded by the same deadline via email attachment to english.recruitmentubc.ca <http://ubc.ca/>.
