responsible for maintaining positive and constructive relationships
on behalf of the Dean, and lead the School in obtaining additional
operating funding, build consensus in the School and champion public
and population health in the University. The Director of the School
will also be expected to play a leadership role in relation to the
Province's public health system, working with the Government and the
six Health Authorities in B.C.
The ideal candidate should have broad and proven administrative
experience, substantial academic and professional experience, and a
proven record of scholarly activity with demonstrated excellence in
teaching. It is expected that the successful candidate will qualify
for and be offered a full-time appointment at the rank of Professor
with Tenure. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and
experience. Candidates must have an MD or PhD in a health-related
discipline and also a minimum of 10 years of

"The truth is a lot of people are living in a world of fear. But we
don't even know how long we're going to be in this world. So there's
really no reason to fear anything. The most important thing is while
we're here, let's make a difference together." Mark Johnson -
