THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Department of Sociology invites
applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in the Social Determinants of
Health, effective July 1, 2007 (or as agreed). UBC, a world leader in health
research and arguably the birthplace of the population health movement, has
strong programs in health sociology, epidemiology, health promotion, health
services and policy research, health psychology and health economics. The
Department of Sociology has created a specialty in the social determinants
of health field, with a special focus on applying theoretically
sophisticated and methodologically diverse approaches to researching and
understanding health inequalities. The fellowship is for two years
(potentially renewable), with a salary of $55,000 per year. A Ph.D. and
evidence of research experience in the social determinants of health field
are required. Applicants should normally be within three years of being
awarded the Ph.D. at the time of taking up the position (in the summer or
early fall of 2007). The successful candidate will be expected to further
develop her/his own research agenda while also collaborating with faculty
members in the Department who conduct determinants of health research.
Opportunities for interaction and collaboration with interdisciplinary
health researchers in the Department of Health Care and Epidemiology, Centre
for Health Services and Policy Research, Human Early Learning Partnership,
Institute of Health Promotion Research, and Department of Psychology are
also possible. Funding for this position comes via a Michael Smith
Foundation for Health Research ‘Senior Scholar’ career investigator
award won by Dr. Gerry Veenstra, who will serve as faculty supervisor for
the postdoctoral fellow. The successful candidate may contribute to teaching
in the Department, if so interested, in one of the following areas: social
determinants of health, social statistics or research methods. The
University of British Columbia hires on the basis of merit and is committed
to employment equity. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.
Inquiries and applications, including three letters of reference (sent under
separate cover), curriculum vitae, a sample of written work, a short
statement describing fit with the Department, and a summary of current and
future research interests should be sent to Dr. Neil Guppy, Head, Department
of Sociology, The University of British Columbia, 6303 N.W. Marine Drive,
Vancouver, B.C. Canada V6T 1Z1. Submissions received by March 31, 2007 will
be given priority, although the position will remain open until filled.
