“Diversity is our strength. Inclusion is our mandate.” – Dr. Bashir Makhoul, President & Vice-Chancellor

At University Canada West, we are dedicated to nurturing a diverse, equitable and inclusive community where all individuals are respected, valued and empowered to thrive. We recognize that diversity encompasses a wide range of identities and experiences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, age, religion and disability.

We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all members of our community, irrespective of their backgrounds or circumstances. Our actions are guided by a profound respect for the dignity, rights and full participation of every individual. We acknowledge the historical and systemic barriers that have marginalized certain groups, including Indigenous peoples, and strive to create a culture of belonging and equitable access to opportunities and resources.

Diversity is not only celebrated, but also actively promoted by our Community Engagement team across our university campuses and corporate culture. We continually assess our progress towards our DEI goals, incorporate feedback from our community and implement specific benchmarks to ensure accountability. We understand that achieving true equity requires ongoing effort and we are committed to evolve our policies and practices accordingly.

By championing diversity, equity and inclusion, we can create a truly inclusive university environment where every individual feels respected, valued, and empowered to succeed.

We are a teaching-intensive university, so evidence of teaching excellence is a definite asset. We support research by our faculty, insofar as it supports great teaching and intellectual development. We require all faculty to be active scholars but we also offer an escape from the “publish or perish” lifestyle forced on faculty at many universities. Applicants for faculty positions should have a related doctoral degree, or at minimum a Master’s degree, with relevant post-secondary teaching and work experience.

How to apply for a Faculty position

Interested candidates should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae (CV) including evidence of teaching experience and scholarly accomplishments, cover letter clearly indicating the program and/or course(s), a sample syllabi, and teaching portfolio (if applicable) as well as the names of three references via Interfolio.
