The Department of Psychology at UBC Vancouver is calling for applications to teach in:
- Summer Session Term 1 (May to June 2027)
- Summer Session Term 2 (July to August 2027)
The Department of Psychology invites applications to teach in the 2027 Summer Sessions. Applicants may apply for more than one session, and must specify which session(s) and term(s) they wish to teach. Preference will be given to applicants with a Ph.D. and experience in teaching at the college or university level, but applicants without a Ph.D. who are ABD will also be considered. The current salary for a 3-credit course in the Faculty of Arts is $10538.94.
All applicants should apply through the Department of Psychology’s website: https://psyc.air.arts.ubc.ca/resources/sessional_lecturers/
A full list of Psychology courses is available at the UBC Calendar site: https://vancouver.calendar.ubc.ca/course-descriptions/subject/psycv
Deadline for applications: Tuesday, October 13, 2026
Decisions on course offerings will be made once the department has reviewed recent enrolments and assessed student demand. Courses are subject to cancellation if enrollments are less than 50 students, and because of budgetary constraints, the number of positions available is limited.
All positions are subject to funding and are governed by UBC’s “Agreement and Conditions of Appointment for Sessional Lecturers.” In accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, priority will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada. Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Métis, Inuit, or Indigenous person.
The Department of Psychology is committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and advancing Indigenous priorities in accordance with a 5-year strategic growth and hiring plan (see psych.ubc.ca/edi). As one part of the initiative, we are committed to ongoing hiring of new faculty members who share a commitment to advancing equity, diversity, inclusion, and justice, including expanding our departmental diversity in the broadest sense. Applicants who wish to learn more about how equity, diversity, and inclusion are valued, fostered, and celebrated in our department are welcome to contact Amori Mikami, Professor and Associate Head of Equity Diversity and Inclusion.
