Saskatchewan Population Health and Evaluation Research Unit, Inc (SPHERU)
The Universities of Regina and Saskatchewan
This newly established research centre of excellence, which is a two
university, nine faculty unit, is seeking eight researchers excited with the
possibilities of a fully interdisciplinary, integrated program of knowledge
development around population health (health determinants). The Unit, under
the direction of Dr. Ronald Labonte, is committed to research that is
policy-relevant. We are looking for individuals with background and
experience in: epidemiology; ecological/environmental theory; work and
health; public policy (research and evaluation); community or social
psychology/community development; aboriginal health/cultural health studies;
education/adult learning; economics; and philosophy (ethics). The Unit will
need researchers with a range of skills, including: quantitative methods,
qualitative methods, data management and data mining.
We are interested in attracting individuals from a variety of disciplines
who can work together as a team and feel comfortable in a collaborative,
intersectoral environment. SPHERU is a partnership of the provincial
government, health districts, universities, and both provincial and federal
funding agencies.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. or health sciences professional degree and
equivalent research experience. Faculty will be expected to seek external
research funding support. SPHERU and the Universities of Regina and
Saskatchewan, welcome all qualified applicants.
Faculty appointments will be at the rank of assistant or associate professor
and will initially be for a five-year term. Salary and rank will be
commensurate with experience and qualifications. A comprehensive benefits
package as per the University's collective agreements will be provided.
