Job categories

Staff career opportunities come in a range of fields and areas of expertise. Explore some of UBC's key job categories.

Business and administration

Do you enjoy applying your business skills within an academic context? Working in business and administration roles is about fostering meaningful relationships, bringing in funding, ensuring resources are wisely allocated, hiring the best, and looking after the institution’s reputation.

Research and innovation

As a world-class university, UBC continually fosters new ideas and research that contribute to creating a better world. If you're energized by the pursuit of discovery, help us lead, conduct, or support diverse research projects that challenge or confirm existing conclusions and opinions.

Community, life and wellbeing

Healthy meals, a great cup of coffee, physical activity, social opportunities and a good night’s sleep. These are the things that help people feel their best. UBC provides a variety of job opportunities that support wellbeing and help others to stay healthy, happy and motivated.

Facilities and planning

While learning and research are at UBC’s core, our work wouldn't be possible without physical spaces to work in. Are you interested in helping to plan, build, maintain, or support UBC's facilities, from classrooms to labs, offices, amenities and the walkways and gardens in between?

Learning and design

Students are at the heart of UBC. Helping students to grow requires learning support – from libraries, to museums and admissions – along with providing a caring environment, academic advice and opportunities for fun. Help develop a future generation of leaders.

Information technology

UBC depends on information creation, consumption and sharing. As researchers pore over massive databases, and students do everything from their smartphone, laptop or tablet, you can help ensure everyone can learn, work, and connect seamlessly.

How to Get Hired at UBC

  • UBC uses Workday Recruiting on its own tenant at ubc.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com, with separate Staff (ubcstaffjobs) and Faculty (ubcfacultyjobs) job boards that share a single candidate profile.
  • There are five practical hiring tracks: Faculty (UBC Faculty Association), CUPE 2950 clerical and library staff, CUPE 116 technical and trades staff, AAPS Management and Professional staff, and Postdoctoral and Sessional appointments. The track determines the entire process, from posting period to interview format to offer timeline.
