Welcome to the York University Academic Employment Opportunities website. The Office of the Vice-President Academic has established this site to provide information on full-time academic appointments available at York. On this site you will find links to available academic positions, research news and professional development resources, academic policies, collective agreements, relocation services, Faculty and program information, news and a directory of key contacts on campus. While every effort has been made to ensure that all full-time faculty and librarian appointment opportunities are listed through this site, interested individuals should also consult the CAUT Bulletin, University Affairs, The Globe and Mail, and professional journals and other publications. For information on job postings for part-time teaching positions, please contact the relevant Faculty or unit.

York University has ten Faculties, ranging from liberal arts to professional schools in law, education, and business, to environmental studies, fine arts, and science. The York University Libraries homepage has information on York's many libraries. York is at the centre of innovation, with a thriving community of almost 60,000 faculty, staff and students who challenge the ordinary and deliver the unexpected. The Universitys main campus is located in the centre of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Glendon College, Yorks bilingual liberal arts Faculty, is in mid-town Toronto. The schools of business and law have each also established a downtown site.

York is a unionized workplace. The York University Faculty Association (YUFA) represents all full-time faculty and professional librarians (with the exception of those appointed to the law school). The University has an affirmative action program to promote equity in the employment of women, members of visible/racial minorities, aboriginal people and persons with disabilities. All appointments are authorized by the Vice-President Academic and approved by the President. The appointment process (Article 12 from YUFA Collective Agreement - pdf) is conducted by the relevant department or Faculty, in accord with the provisions of the Collective Agreement (pdf) between YUFA and the Board of Governors of the University.

The University makes two types of full-time academic appointments. Tenure-stream appointments are ones in which the faculty member will be a candidate for tenure and/or promotion (pdf) within six years of the appointment. Contractually-limited appointments are for a limited term generally one, two, or three years and carry no implication for continuation beyond that term.  For a list of full-time academic positions currently available at York University, listed by discipline/field, hiring unit, and Faculty, please click here.

York faculty members provide quality education and innovative research to achieve the University's mission. All qualified applicants are invited to apply to join Yorks faculty. Priority is given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents in Canada.
