An active research agenda with existing and promising publications is required. Area of study is open, but candidates with a strong record of scholarship in immigrant and/or refugee health; sexual minority and transgender health; disability; substance use; disease prevention and health promotion; community-engaged participatory research approaches, and community mental health are particularly encouraged to apply.

We seek candidates with promise of excellence in research as well as teaching.
