University of British Columbia
Assistant Professor
Family Studies
Applications are invited for a tenure stream Family Studies position in Intimate and Family Relations. Doctoral degree in Family Studies or a related field required. Major criteria in selection will be excellence in research and scholarly activities with clear potential to develop a nationally-recognized, externally-funded (e.g., SSHRC , CIHR) research program and demonstrated ability and interest in high quality teaching.
UBC's B.A. and M.A. Family Studies programs offer a life-course perspective to understanding relationship dynamics and development in diverse family and societal contexts. Rooted in the curiosity driven inquiry of the liberal arts, the program provides theoretical foundations and research skills for understanding relationships and families. The program recognizes the value of the application of social science knowledge in the study of families.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses such as close relationships, the development of family careers, and communication in the family; within these primary areas of concern, some knowledge of intergenerational relations would be an asset but is not required. The candidate should have strengths in quantitative methodology, bringing one or more skills such as training in observational analysis, analysis of non-independent data at the dyadic/family level (e.g., HLM), and/or handling change over time (e.g., event history or survival analysis).
In 1999 two programs were merged to create the School of Social Work and Family Studies. Faculty members cooperate and participate in teaching, research, the development of courses and administrative responsibilities. In 2005 the School will initiate a new Ph.D. Program in Social Work and Family Studies with specialization in either area.
Closing Date: November 12, 2004. Applications and curriculum vitae for the position, together with the names of three references, should be forwarded as soon as possible to:
Professor Graham Riches, Director
School of Social Work and Family Studies
