F4.2 Faculty Plan
The School of Social and Community Services has increased the number of faculty with
terminal credentials since first beginning to offer degrees in 2008. However, additional faculty
with appropriate doctorate credentials are necessary to be hired to meet the requirement to
have a minimum of 50% of the core courses delivered by a faculty member holding a doctorate
degree. The School has currently identified 1 full-time faculty member who holds a Ph.D. who
could deliver core courses in this degree.
In reviewing the faculty complement for the Bachelor of Behavioural Science degree, the School
has identified the need to hire 4 additional faculty members with doctorates in the following
areas:
o One PhD in Psychology to be hired part-time for Fall 2014.
o One PhD in Psychology with a specialization in ABA & CBT and Counselling;
Assessment and knowledge of Test Development & Testing Principles; experience in
Group Therapy. BCBA certification suggested. To be hired part-time for Fall 2015.
o One PhD in Behavioural Science or equivalent with solid experience in qualitative and
quantitative research methods to be hired for Fall 2016.
o One PhD in Psychology or Behavioural Science or related field with a specialty in
Individual Assessment and CBT to be hired for Fall 2017.
1) Hiring Plans
Faculty Recruitment and Development Plan
Together, the Vice President, Academic, the Academic Deans and the Director of Human
Resources develop human resource hiring and development plans for each of the academic
Schools. From these plans, the number of faculty members to be hired is determined for all
levels of study offered by the School. The recruitment of faculty with the requisite qualifications
to teach at the degree level includes a national advertising strategy. Humber employs a number
of strategies to search for faculty to teach in degree level programming. Briefly, the College:
1. advertises positions in key industry publications as well as the Journal of Higher
Education;
2. advertises positions and networks with related associations;
3. approaches American universities which have masters and doctoral programs in related
areas to recruit graduates who might be interested in a teaching position at Humber;
4. enters into discussions with local universities such as Guelph, University of Toronto,
McMaster, Ryerson, York and others with related programs, to promote part-time
teaching opportunities at Humber;
5. enters into discussions with other Canadian universities regarding the recruitment of
qualified faculty;
6. assesses potential cross-appointments of other degree level faculty within the institution.
For example, Humber has introduced baccalaureate degrees in Criminal Justice and
Child and Youth Care. There are related courses in some of these programs, providing
potential opportunities for the sharing of faculty across Schools. In addition, at the
University of Guelph-Humber, faculty are selected from both Humber and Guelph to
teach in the joint programs. It is not unusual for a Humber faculty member to teach
degree level courses at both the University of Guelph-Humber and Humber.
