The UBC Sauder School of Business Strategy and Business Economics (SBE) Division, at the Vancouver Point Grey campus, welcomes applications for a Part-time Instructor to teach a course in “Corporate Strategy”, initially at the graduate level, with an anticipated start date to be mutually agreed upon after January 1, 2026. The nature of this course requires a candidate who can bring significant practical business experience into the classroom, and who can combine this experience with analytic economic thinking. The “Corporate Strategy” course has been developed to complement a mandatory earlier course on “Strategic Management”, and therefore the course content of “Corporate Strategy” is subject to coordination with SBE Division and the program team of the Robert H. Lee Graduate School. The expected salary range for the position is $3,000 to $4,000 per credit.
