"Simon Fraser University invites applications for a Tier 1 Canada Research
Chair (CRC) in Community-Engaged Adolescent Mental Health.

We are seeking an outstanding and innovative researcher who is
internationally-recognized in the field of adolescent mental health with a
focus on one or more of the following areas: program implementation and
evaluation; diversity and culturally sensitive programming; determinants of
mental health; and intersectoral and upstream approaches to enhancing
mental health. The preferred candidate could have a disciplinary background
in health, education, or the social sciences (*e.g.*, psychology).

The proposed Chair will be embedded at SFU Surrey – a vibrant community hub
located in one of Canada’s fastest-growing cities. S/he will take a
leadership role in building research capacity that benefits the City of
Surrey, and that will have important implications for adolescent mental
health in British Columbia, across Canada, and beyond. The Chair will work
closely with City of Surrey partners from multiple sectors such as health
(including the Fraser Health Authority and its regional Child and Youth
Mental Health Substance Use program), education, law enforcement, social
services, government, and community partners. The Chair will also create
ties with other researchers working in the area of adolescent mental health
and mental health policy. The Surrey-based CRC holds promise for increasing
linkages with the Surrey community and strengthening SFU’s research
presence in this city and beyond. Over time, it is anticipated that this
Chair will leverage his/her Surrey-based research program to capitalize on
innovative developments and collaborative research opportunities at the
local, national, and international levels.

The successful candidate will play a leadership role in establishing a
cutting-edge, community-relevant research facility and lead a research
program focused on the advancement of community-based and clinically
relevant strategies designed to maximize the mental health of young people."
