As part of a major expansion of its communication research programs in the health sciences, the Faculty of Health Sciences and the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa invite applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor. The new faculty member will have a background that will allow them to successfully develop a dynamic and collaborative research program that includes a focus on health science communication with the general public and policy makers, as well on the prevalence and the combatting of medical misinformation. The incumbent will explore such research areas as healthcare disparities, social media as a tool for both science communication and health disruption, health, and wellness issues for underrepresented or underserved populations or the intersections of health and social justice concerns, including racial and environmental health disparities, all through the lens of health science communication.

The University of Ottawa is recognized nationally and internationally as one of the best universities in the country and the largest bilingual university (French and English) in the world. Located on the unceded territory of Anishinaabe-Algonquin people, in the heart of downtown Ottawa, it contributes significantly to the economy, culture, and quality of life of Canada’s Capital.
