Jobs in Canadian universities<\/a><\/span> \u00a0are typically divided into administrative, faculty, and staff positions. Administrators typically manage the running of the university, handling jobs as diverse as president, placement co-ordinator for the business program to manager of residence life. While some administrative positions are designated as \u201cfaculty work\u201d, meaning only faculty can apply for them, generally these positions fall outside that designation and are not unionized.<\/p>\n Faculty also are not unionized but are protected by a faculty association that acts on their behalf. Staff positions on the other hand are typically union positions in most Canadian colleges and universities.<\/p>\n If you do choose to go after a job at a Canadian University, it\u2019s important to know that demographers are predicting a glut of openings at universities over the next 10 years, particularly in faculty positions as baby boomers age and move into retirement.<\/p>\n If working in a university environment appeals to you, here are some of the benefits you can look forward to. <\/b><\/p>\n If you want to find out more about job opportunities at the various universities in Canada you will find they are all listed on the individual universities\u2019 websites or the leading Canadian higher education job board: Edujobscanada.com<\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n Something you will likely come across as you are looking is a notation that a job is an \u201cinternal\u201d posting. That means that qualified candidates who are already working at the university have the first chance at these jobs. If no qualified candidates can be found internally, the university will then post the job \u201cexternally\u201d which means they will open it up to everyone.<\/p>\n We hope you find a rewarding career at a university in Canada.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Erin Bailo, Career Advisor.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n
