Description: The Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing at the University of Toronto invites applications for a full-time tenure stream position in Nursing. The position will be at the rank of Assistant Professor with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2026. The successful candidate may be named to the CAMH Chair in Mental Health Nursing Research for a five-year term, which will be renewable following a favourable review.
This search aligns with the University’s commitment to strategically and proactively promote diversity among our community members (Statement on Equity, Diversity & Excellence). Recognizing that Black, Indigenous, and other Racialized communities have experienced inequities that have developed historically and are ongoing, we strongly welcome and encourage candidates from those communities to apply.
Preference will be given to candidates who self-identify as Indigenous. Recognizing that there are a variety of terms that potential candidates may use to self-identify, the University uses the term “Indigenous” in this search, which forms part of the U of T Response to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to encompass the people of Turtle Island, including those who identify as First Nations, Métis, Inuk (Inuit), Alaska Native, Native American, and Native Hawaiian people.
Applicants must have an entry-to-practice degree (BScN or MN) in nursing, as well as a PhD in nursing or a related discipline. All applicants must be eligible for registration with the College of Nurses of Ontario. Candidates must also have a demonstrated record of excellence in research and teaching. We seek candidates whose research and teaching interests complement and enhance our existing strengths and with a strong program of research in the field of mental health nursing with a focus on healthcare pathways, transitions, and optimized patient experience, implementation of best evidence and emerging practices, patient reported outcomes and/or nursing care of patients with mental health conditions. Advancing research competencies and capabilities in nursing and health disciplines, with a focus on practice-based research, is also a strength.
Candidates must also have experience working with, teaching, or mentoring/supervising diverse groups or diverse students along with the ability to contribute to fostering diversity on campus, and within the curriculum or nursing profession, demonstrated through the application materials. The successful candidate will be expected to pursue innovative and independent research, and to establish an outstanding, competitive, and externally funded research program.
Resources from this Chair, which is supported by a $2 million endowment, will support the Chair in the integration of research, education and clinical work to advance mental health nursing research. A strong track record as a clinical nurse scholar, including publications in leading journals and as an externally-funded investigator with a focus on mental health nursing research, and in particular, care transitions, care outcomes, self-managed and/or digital/remote innovative technology solutions aimed to improve patient experience, systems and models of care is essential.
Evidence of excellence in teaching should be demonstrable through teaching accomplishments and in a dossier of prior teaching experience (with required materials outlined below).
Evidence of excellence in research will be evidenced by field-relevant publications or forthcoming publications considered of international quality, awards and accolades, the submitted research statement, and strong endorsements from referees of high standing. Applicants whose research involves significant clinical or practice engagement are strongly encouraged. An ability to initiate collaborations and work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams is highly desirable.
Applications will be evaluated in regard to the applicant’s record of scholarly activity, national/international reputation, relevance of their research, and expectation for ongoing academic achievement and contributions to the field.
The salary range is $130,000 to $150,000 CAD per annum, depending on experience. Negotiations beyond this salary range will be considered for exceptionally qualified candidates.
