JOB SUMMARY
The MacIsaac School of Nursing at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver campus, invites applications for three full-time (1.0 FTE) positions at the rank of Postdoctoral Fellow (Movember Institute Discovery Fellow) for a one-year term, renewable for up to five years subject to work performance, funding availability and the UBC approval process, as part of the Movember Institute of Men's Health Discovery Research Program. The Program is a major international investment in developing the next generation of men's health researchers and building research capacity in boys' and men's emotional and relational health.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will design, lead and deliver an independent five-year program of research focused primarily on underserved boys and young men aged 12-35. The research will address one or more of the Program's three themes: Coping and Consumption, Social Connection, and Early Fatherhood.
This is an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious early-career researcher to build their own research program with five years of funding security, senior mentorship, a dedicated research support allocation and a separately funded nested PhD Scholarship.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will be based in the UBC MacIsaac School of Nursing and will report to and be mentored by Professor John Oliffe, the Movember Institute Professorial Fellow for Canada. They will have a high degree of independence in designing and leading their research program and will work independently within the five-year research plan. Co-supervision arrangements will be made where needed with the agreement of the Postdoctoral Fellow and Professor Oliffe. The three UBC-based Fellows will form the Canadian hub of the Discovery Research Program.
They will also join an international cohort of 11 Discovery Fellows working across Australia, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States, with access to structured mentorship, professional development and international collaboration through the Movember Institute.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will liaise with faculty, trainees and staff across UBC, and with community, practice, policy and health system partners in British Columbia and nationally.
