The Departments of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Pediatrics at Dalhousie University and the IWK Health Centre are seeking applicants for one faculty position in the Perinatal Epidemiology Research Unit (PERU). This position is a tenure-track, full-time faculty position with primary appointments in both University Departments (50% in each Department).

This position offers opportunities to pursue active research programs focused on the perinatal or relevant areas. Scientists affiliated with the Unit have access to a population-based perinatal database as well as hospital admission and separation database, physician services database and other clinical and administrative databases. The environment is highly conducive for conducting clinical and population-based epidemiologic research. The successful candidate will also be encouraged to engage in collaborative research projects with other faculty in the Dalhousie academic community. The position requires active involvement in teaching residents, fellows and medical students. A cross-appointment with the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology will provide opportunity for graduate student supervision and teaching.

Academic qualifications include a PhD degree in Epidemiology or related area and ideally experience in perinatal health research. Experience in using large databases for research is preferred. Academic rank and remuneration will be commensurate with experience.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents are given priority. Dalhousie University is an Employment Equity/ Affirmative Action employer. The University encourages applications from qualified Aboriginal people, persons with disability, racially visible persons and women.

Interested applicants should submit a Curriculum vitae, along with a statement outlining their research experience and interests, teaching experience, as well as arrange to have three letters of reference (two academic) sent directly to:
