The University of British Columbia consistently ranks among the top 20 public universities globally. We’re ready to move the world forward and we want you to be a part of it.
The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences’ international reputation in education, innovation, and research in pharmacy and the pharmaceutical sciences attracts close to 1,000 undergraduate students each year, and we train more than 100 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
Our suite of academic programs prepares students for a wide variety of careers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and related sectors. Research in the Faculty is designed for impact resulting in a wide spectrum of health support and improved outcomes of drug treatments.
The Faculty has the sole mandate in BC to train people to be pharmacists and it also takes a lead in developing and implementing new models of pharmacy practice and team-based health care.
Our 7,000+ alumni have established themselves as successful pharmacists, scientists, teachers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and innovators the world over.
The pharmacists of today are more than drug therapy experts—they are hands-on health care practitioners with an expanded scope of practice and an array of clinical skills to assess and counsel patients in a holistic and integrated way. They are now playing such a critical role in public health, that ranges from the delivery of vaccines and renewal of common prescriptions to a critical role in supporting a growing and aging population.
What happens here has the power to change everything.
We invite you to consider an exciting leadership opportunity that will help propel our vision at the UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences forward.
