About the Faculty

Basic, applied and clinical research are key strengths of our institution.

These internationally recognized groups constitute ideal settings for the development of an active and innovative research program and strong leadership in the field of cerebral neuroinflammation on the national and international stages. All Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences researchers have access to state-of-the-art scientific equipment and to an interdisciplinary research environment.

The successful candidate must teach at all undergraduate and graduate levels. Knowledge of French, or a commitment to learn the language in the short term, is essential.

Main duties

  • Teach at undergraduate and graduate levels.
  • Supervise graduate students.
  • Develop basic and applied research activities, maintain a competitive externally funded
  • research program, and obtain salary support (scholarship/fellowship) from provincial and/or
  • national programs.
  • Take part in university life.
  • Contribute to community service.

Qualifications

  • Hold a PhD and/or MD degree in cerebral neuroinflammation.
  • Have at least three (3) years of postdoctoral experience.
  • Teach and mentor undergraduate and graduate students.
  • Have cutting-edge expertise in the fields indicated above.
  • Have a keen interest for and be highly skilled in teaching, university pedagogy, research, development, and innovation.
  • Demonstrate leadership qualities, initiative and an outstanding ability to communicate and effectively and harmoniously interact with various internal and external partners.
  • Demonstrate the ability to lead graduate students.
  • Have a publication record testifying to the excellence of the researcher’s file in the field identified above.
  • Demonstrate skills in establishing and maintaining good interpersonal relations, a collaborative spirit and teamwork skills.
  • Ability to teach in French, or to rapidly achieve the ability to do so (2 years).

Work conditions

The working conditions are governed by the collective agreement in effect between the University and the Association des professeures et professeurs de la Faculté de médecine de l’Université de Sherbrooke (APPFMUS).

Regular full-time tenure-track position.

Anticipated start date: 2023.
