University of British Columbia - Okanagan Campus Department of Psychology SSHRC Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Clinical Psychology for Healthy Communities Posting date: November 3, 2026 Closing date: December 15, 2026 Anticipated Start date: July 1, 2027 The Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus invites applications for a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Clinical Psychology for Healthy Communities in the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). We seek an exceptional emerging scholar whose research will address local and societal challenges related to mental health, wellbeing, and/or chronic disease care among underserved and/or marginalized populations. The ideal candidate will foreground equity, diversity, and/or sustainability in their work, and establish an innovative, community-engaged research program. Candidates for this position must: (a) have a PhD (a UBC requirement) in Clinical Psychology from an accredited program and, (b) be eligible to be licensed as a psychologist in the province of BC. The full-time appointment will be made at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor (tenure track) in the Department of Psychology, within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. This is an external search (i.e., we are seeking to hire someone who does not currently hold a UBC faculty appointment). The position is expected to start on July 1, 2027 or soon thereafter. The anticipated salary range is commensurate with experience and level ($115,000-$135,000 for the rank of Assistant Professor and $130,000-$160,000 for the rank of Associate Professor). The successful candidate will engage in research, teaching and service within the Department of Psychology’s CPA-accredited clinical psychology program. Our program attracts high caliber students from across Canada and internationally, and is widely recognized for its commitment to outstanding student training in both research and clinical practice. Faculty members in our department are known for their innovation across several research areas, including mental health, addictions, chronic disease prevention and care, neuropsychology, and the interpersonal processes that support wellbeing. We embrace interdisciplinarity, cultivate strong community-based partnerships (e.g., local health authority, nonprofit organizations), and are committed to conducting high-impact research with implications for policy, practice, and the wellbeing of communities. The Department of Psychology is a dynamic, collegial, and collaborative department. We strongly value the enhancement of diversity within our department, including diversity of identities and experiences, as well as approaches to research that expand beyond traditional Western paradigms, including Indigenous ways of knowing. The department actively fosters an inclusive environment through initiatives such as PACE (Psychology Allyship, Community, and Equity), a departmental committee focused on increasing diversity, equity, and inclusivity for students, staff, and faculty. About the Canada Research Chair (CRC) Tier 2 Program The Tier II Canada Research Chair has a term of five years and may be renewed once for a second five-year term. Tier II Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars who, at the time of nomination, are typically within 10 years of their first full-time independent academic research-related appointment. Candidates who are beyond this timeline may still be eligible if they have experienced eligible career interruptions, such as maternity, parental or extended sick leave, clinical training, COVID-19 impacts, or family care responsibilities, and receive approval through the program’s Tier II justification process. UBC acknowledges that certain circumstances such as illness, disability, family and community responsibilities (e.g., maternity leave, parental leave, leaves due to illness, leaves due to caring for family members, or slowdowns due to chronic illness or disability) may cause career interruptions that legitimately affect an applicant’s record of research achievement. These interruptions will be taken into careful consideration during the assessment process. We encourage applicants to highlight in their application how interruptions have impacted their careers in order to allow for a fair assessment of their research productivity. All CRC nominations are subject to review and final approval by the CRC Secretariat. Please consult the Canada Research Chairs website for full program information, including further details on eligibility criteria.
