Located in the thriving, multicultural city of Winnipeg, the University of Manitoba offers students and faculty a vibrant learning community, exceptional facilities and the chance to explore ideas, challenge assumptions and turn theory into reality. The University of Manitoba plays a key role in the social, cultural, and economic well-being of the people of Manitoba, Canada, and the world.

The Department of Community Health Sciences is situated in the College of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences. It comprises academics and public health practitioners working in education, research and service related to health services, health policy and planning, population health, family health, societal and cultural dimensions of health, critical social theory and health, Indigenous health and global health. The Department fosters integrated and multidisciplinary approaches, and faculty members interact with health professionals and policy-makers from a variety of provincial, national and international organizations. The Department is now inviting applications for one full-time tenure track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, and one at the rank of Associate Professor. We are seeking dynamic individuals, who can make substantial contributions in one or more of areas indicated above.
