At UBC, we’re working hard to meet our Climate Action Plan 2030 goals, including an 85% reduction of operational emissions in order to align with or surpass the Paris Agreement.
Get inspired by UBC’s response to the Climate Emergency. Read the first progress review on the climate emergency at UBC since the Board of Governors and Senates unanimously endorsed in principle the Climate Emergency Task Force (CETF) report in early 2021.

I am pleased to announce the six successful proposals from the second round of our Academic Renewal competition, focused on the recruitment of junior faculty in the areas of data science, translational science and medicine, and virtual/rural and remote health.
The range of focus areas of the selected proposals demonstrates the breadth of our research diversity and alignment with the Faculty of Medicine’s Strategic Plan. In addition, all of the proposals are building on collaboration and partnership across the Faculty and the province.
The six successful proposals for new junior faculty positions include:
Virtual/Rural and Remote Health
Translational Science and Medicine
Data Science
Looking forward, we will be reviewing the remaining academic renewal positions and considering allocation based on strategic priorities. As such, we are unsure whether there will be a third round of competition. We will communicate further on this piece next year.
