Health, effective on or before July 1, 2008.
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 initial appointment is for one year,
potentially renewable for an additional year or two, 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. 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 health determinants
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 award comes
from the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research. 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:
