History, Visual Art, and Theory
The Department of Art History, Visual Art, and Theory at the
University of British Columbia invites applications for a tenure-track
faculty appointment in Studio Art, at the Assistant Professor level,
beginning
July 1, 2002.
The Department seeks an individual concentrating in areas of 2-D media
with a strong knowledge of contemporary art issues. The successful

boundaries. A good understanding of the integration of new
technologies into traditional practices is necessary. The individual

both undergraduate and graduate programs.
The Department of Art History, Visual Art, and Theory is a medium-size
department within a major university and so an ability to form
interdisciplinary collaborations is an asset. The pursuit of studio
practice
against a strong background of art historical and theoretical concerns
is essential to our department and such ability will be sought in the
candidates.
Requirements include a M.F.A. (or equivalent), an active national
exhibition record and post-secondary teaching experience. A
publication record will be an asset.
Applicants should submit the following package by February 15,
2002:
- an application letter including a statement of artistic and teaching
philosophies
- visual documentation of current work (e.g.: 35mm slides to a maximum
of 30, a cued video no longer than 12 minutes, CD Rom, and/or URL)
- relevant publications including authored works and reviews
- detailed curriculum vitae
- the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses of
three professional references
Applications should be sent to: Chair, Search Committee, Department of
Art History, Visual Art, and Theory, University of British Columbia,
Room 403-Lasserre Building, 6333 Memorial Rd., Vancouver, BC
V6T 1Z2.
In accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, this
advertisement is directed to Canadian citizens and permanent residents

Recruiting of Foreign
Academics
Effective October 17, 2001,
Human Resources Development Canada changed its policy regarding the
recruitment of foreign academics. The two tier policy,
that has been in place since 1981, has now been suspended.
The following guidelines are now in effect:
… Advertisements must provide exposure of the
vacancy to Canadian and permanent residents who would be potential
candidates.
… Positions must be advertised for a
reasonable period of time. This would normally be a one-month
period.
… Advertisements must include the
following statement: "All qualified candidates are encouraged
to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given
priority."
… Positions may be advertised
simultaneously in Canada and abroad; positions cannot be advertised
abroad unless they are also advertised in Canada.
… All Canadian citizens and permanent
residents who meet the advertised requirements of the position are to
be invited to participate in the selection process.
… Canadian citizens and permanent
residents who are found qualified are to be offered the position
before it can be offered to a foreign candidate.
… UBC will provide HRDC specific
information on the recruitment and selection process when requesting
an employment validation for an academic position, including an
explanation of the reason the position is being offered to a foreign
candidate, with a report on the top three Canadian
candidates.
UBC will report annually on the
total number of academics hired, and the number of foreign academics
hired.
