TENURE TRACK ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN POLICY/QUALITATIVE METHODS

The Faculty of Nursing at the University of New Brunswick invites applications from qualified individuals for a tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor at the Fredericton campus. The position involves both in-person and remote presence classroom, clinical and laboratory teaching responsibilities in the undergraduate and graduate programs. A program of research and scholarly work in health policy with an emphasis on equity-informed nursing practice is preferred. The position also has an academic service expectation that closely aligns with the Fredericton Downtown Community Health Centre (FDCRC). We are interested in individuals with a proven track record in leading research aimed at policy level change, preferably using quantitative methods. Experience teaching in an academic setting inclusive of both classroom and clinical courses is an asset.

All UNB sites share a common curriculum based on principles of primary health care, caring and social justice. Foundational to the curriculum are five abilities that are considered essential to working successfully in a primary healthcare environment. Outcomes for theory and clinical courses are intentionally designed and levelled across the program to ensure that graduates have developed the five requisite abilities. The Bachelor of Nursing degree has a 4-year undergraduate program offered in Fredericton, a 2-year accelerated program offered in Moncton and a Licensed Practical Nurse to Bachelor of Nursing (LPN-BN) remote pathway program offered in Miramichi. The integrated nature of our curriculum means that we can consider a variety of areas of teaching expertise for this position. The Master of Nursing Program has two streams: a thesis/research-based stream and a Nurse Practitioner stream. Active participation in governance and decision-making within the Faculty of Nursing are also expectations.
