Halifax, Canada Dalhousie University Full time

The Department of Medical Neuroscience (link) and the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences (link) in the Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University are seeking to recruit an outstanding scientist to join the interdepartmental Retina and Optic Nerve Research Group. This position is designated to applicants who identify in particular equity-deserving groups. Please see below for further details on eligibility. The successful candidate will hold a joint tenure-stream appointment in the Department of Medical Neuroscience (80%) and the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science (20%) at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, with a salary commensurate with qualifications and experience.


Required qualifications and experience for this position include a Ph.D. or equivalent, at least three years of postdoctoral experience, demonstrated research excellence in visual neuroscience, and demonstrated excellence or potential for excellence in teaching. The successful candidate will be expected to develop an extramurally funded, dynamic research program in visual neuroscience.

Additionally, the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science offers competitive research funding for new faculty members and scholarships for vision research trainees at all levels.
