University Killam Professors

AnchorThe highest honour UBC can confer on a faculty member, a University Killam Professorship recognizes exceptional teachers and researchers who are leaders in their fields, and who have received international recognition for their talents and efforts.

A University Killam Professor will continue to hold the designation for as long as they remain a tenured faculty member at the University. After retirement, such individual will be entitled to refer to themselves as a “University Killam Professor Emeritus/Emerita”
