The University of Canterbury College of Education was created on 1 January 2007 by the merger of the Christchurch College of Education (founded 1877) and the University of Canterbury (founded 1873). Both institutions have distinguished histories and a record of outstanding service both provincially, nationally and internationally.

Essential qualifications for appointment as a Professor in Education include a doctorate in a relevant field of study; a significant record of scholarly research and writing including publications in highly ranked internationally refereed journals; successful tertiary teaching and leadership experience including supervision of higher degree students and the ability to attract external research funding.
