The Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at The University of British Columbia (UBC), in partnership with BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre (BCW), invites applications for a full-time faculty position at the rank of Associate Professor (grant tenure). The successful candidate will hold the Professorship in Midlife and Mature Women’s Health supported by BCW, subject to university approvals.
The UBC Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology has training programs at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels, and pursues research to make innovative advancements in knowledge and translate it to practice to improve health. The Department consists of more than 300 physicians and scientists as well as over 50 administrative, research, and technical staff. Specialty training programs are offered in gynaecologic oncology, maternal fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, as well as advanced training programs in endometriosis, pelvic pain and advanced laparoscopic surgery, family planning, vulvovaginal health and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery and reproductive infectious diseases.
BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre (BCW) is the only facility in British Columbia (BC) devoted primarily to the health of women, newborns and families. It provides a broad range of specialized women’s health services that address the health needs of women of all ages and backgrounds. It has recently launched a new program devoted to midlife and mature women’s health with an embedded complex menopause clinic. This Program will be defining evidence-based approach to management of this underserved population of women. There will be a rich opportunity for development of teaching programs and advancing research in this area. Consultation with specific knowledge users other than investigators (i.e. patients/public, etc.) will be used to develop a knowledge dissemination strategy and a platform for patient/public engagement.
In addition to BC Women’s providing surgical services for women and hosting several specialized ambulatory clinical programs, BC Women’s is one of the largest maternity facilities in Canada, with about 7,200 births a year, and is both the major primary and secondary maternity services provider in BC’s Lower Mainland region and the cornerstone of the provincial tertiary care system. As an academic health centre, BCW’s mandate includes providing strong leadership in research through the BC Women’s Research Institute and education in partnership with the University of British Columbia (UBC) as well as professional development of health care professionals in areas related to the health of the populations we serve. BCW is dedicated to improving the health of women, newborns and families through a comprehensive range of services, research and education. BCW is part of the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA).
Reporting to the Head of the UBC Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and BCW Site Head, the successful candidate will be an accomplished clinician-scientist with the capacity to carry out interdisciplinary population based, patient-oriented clinical research in mid-life women’s health and menopause at BCW. The incumbent will lead holistic and patient centered care through a multidisciplinary team of health care providers and researchers. They will play a key role in designing, developing, implementing, and maintaining a research program in Midlife and Mature Women’s Health with clinical, research, and educational activities which may include reproductive aging, midlife health, pathophysiology of menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency, hormone therapy and quality of life measures. They will lead an impactful program of research and create a hub for junior clinician researchers to take part in patient-oriented research. Given the program’s relationship with the Women’s Health Research Institute, with a significant mandate focused on knowledge translation and implementation science, the successful candidate will lead research that has a high potential to directly impact practice and policy. The successful candidate will be expected to participate in the teaching activities of the Department, as well as provide mentorship and training to undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate learners. The incumbent will also be expected to provide service to the
University and the broader academic and professional community. They will work collaboratively in diverse groups to bring forward strategic initiatives for the Department and the Faculty. It is expected that the person in this role would actively engage with appropriate colleagues in the Women’s Health Research Institute and the newly formed Academy of Translational Medicine within the Faculty of Medicine.
The successful candidate will have an MD and be a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) or equivalent. They must be eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC. The successful candidate will have demonstrated evidence of successful teaching and ability to direct graduate students, evidence of sustained and productive scholarly activity, and must be willing to participate in the affairs of the Department and the University. They are recognized as a leader in their field and possess a proven track record in developing, establishing, and executing research projects, with a specific focus on midlife and mature women's health. Additionally, the successful candidate will have demonstrated commitment to mentoring both clinical and research learners. They will also demonstrate a willingness to respect diverse perspectives, including perspectives in conflict with one’s own, and a commitment to enhancing one’s own awareness, knowledge, and skills related to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
At UBC, we believe that attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce is key to the successful pursuit of excellence in research, innovation, and learning for all faculty, staff and students. Our commitment to employment equity helps achieve inclusion and fairness, brings rich diversity to UBC as a workplace, and creates the necessary conditions for a rewarding career.
The expected academic salary for this position is $160,000 - $200,000 per annum, not inclusive of compensation under the Physician Master Agreement for clinical services. The Faculty of Medicine is committed to offering equitable academic salaries, taking into consideration the qualifications and experience of the successful candidate as well as their years in rank.
