Assistant or Associate Professor (Full-Time, Tenure Track), Ingram School of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences
The Ingram School of Nursing of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is seeking to strengthen its links to Black communities and expand its leadership, research and teaching capacity through the recruitment of a new faculty member in a tenure-track position in the area of health determinants and quality health care for members of Black communities in the Canadian health care system. This tenure-track position is open for appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. Members of Black communities are encouraged to apply because of the value and unique understanding that lived experience and community connection brings to quality nursing research and practice.
This position is part of a multi-year interdisciplinary initiative designed to strengthen and support research innovation and excellence in the domains of African and Black Studies at McGill University while simultaneously addressing the under-representation of Black faculty in the tenure stream, as laid out in McGill’s Action Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism 2020-2025 (ABRp).
The successful candidate will be joining the School at a stimulating time of growth and new energy with a recent expansion in education and research-focused faculty, major curricular revisions, and a new physical space featuring state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities.
The Ingram School of Nursing is proud to host a respectful, multi-disciplinary and inclusive work setting in its multiple areas of activity, which includes the education of a diverse group of students. The School is part of McGill University, which is consistently ranked among the top 20 public universities in the world and among the top three in Canada. McGill University is in Montreal, Quebec (www.montrealinternational.com/en/), a multiethnic city with a strong cultural life. Montreal has been selected numerous times as the best city for students in North America. Montreal housing costs are among the lowest for cities of comparable size, and overall quality of life is outstanding.
