About the UT Classification
The UT (University Teaching) group covers professors and instructors at federal educational institutions that operate at the university level. The primary employer is the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) in Kingston, Ontario, and its sister institution, the Royal Military College Saint-Jean. UT faculty teach undergraduate and graduate courses to officer cadets and military officers, conduct academic research, and participate in the collegial governance of these institutions.
UT positions mirror the academic rank structure found at civilian universities: assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor, though the exact level designations differ. UT faculty are expected to maintain active research programs, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and supervise graduate students — the same scholarly expectations as civilian university professors. Most UT positions require PhD degrees, and tenure-track employment follows processes similar to (though not identical with) civilian universities.
UT salaries at RMC are set by federal pay scales rather than university-specific collective agreements, which means compensation differs from civilian university salary norms. The unique aspect of UT employment is the educational context: teaching military officers who will apply academic knowledge in operational defence contexts. RMC faculty often develop expertise at the intersection of their academic discipline and defence applications — a political scientist studying international security, an engineer researching military vehicle design, or a physicist working on defence-relevant technologies.
