Our commitment to employment equity helps achieve inclusion and fairness, brings rich diversity to UBC as a workplace, and creates the necessary conditions for a rewarding career.  The School of Population and Public Health (SPPH) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) invites applications for a full-time faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor (tenure-track), Associate Professor (tenure), or Professor (tenure) in Indigenous health and data sciences.

We welcome qualified Indigenous applicants with connections to Indigenous communities in Canada or North America at any academic stage (early, mid-career or senior) with traditional knowledge and transferrable values to apply. We also recognize that there are multiple forms of scholarship and data sovereignty activism. SPPH is home to approximately 65 primary faculty members and 350 graduate students whose research interests align with four divisions:
Epidemiology, Biostatistics & Public Health Practice;
Health in Populations;
Health Services and Systems; and Global and Environmental Health.  There are also several cross-cutting areas such as global health, ethics, and research methodology.  SPPH provides training for undergraduate, graduate, and post-professional students across multiple programs, including PhD and Master’s degrees. SPPH has a long history and strong foundation of faculty at the forefront of, the use of large-scale routinely collected data sources, and in ethical and privacy-sensitive operations of data resources for researchers, including training for students.

This provides an excellent working environment for new scholarly activity according to interests of the incumbent.
Reporting to the Director of SPPH, the successful candidate will lead a program of research in Indigenous health sciences, with a focus on areas including but not limited to, Indigenous data science, Indigenous data sovereignty, and the application of data science methods for Indigenous health. They will be expected to initiate and develop collaborations that enhance SPPH’s ability to conduct transformative research that benefits the health of Indigenous Peoples and communities.

For example, research programs could include building innovative qualitative or quantitative inclusive and collaborative research methods or data science initiatives, addressing issues of bias and principles of inclusion in data-intensive science, and other issues of equity and reconciliation in data-intensive research. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in the teaching activities of SPPH, as well as provide mentorship and training to undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate learners.

They will contribute to service activities within the University and community in advancing Indigenous health.

The successful candidate will hold a doctoral degree with a focus on Indigenous health science methodologies, Indigenous data science, or Indigenous data sovereignty, and they will have demonstrated evidence of scholarly activity in one or more of these areas. Consideration will be given to promising applicants at the level of Assistant Professor who are very near completion of a doctorate degree by the time of appointment.
