Toronto, Canada Unity Health Toronto Full time

BMO Research Chair in Anti-Racism and Health Equity

Racism is a key driver of inequitable health outcomes for Canadians. Racialized people access the health system at a lower rate, from primary care to specialized acute care. Racialized people also generally have a worse experience than their white counterparts in healthcare institutions, including hospitals, where many do not feel safe and tend to receive lower quality of care. Inequitable health care contributes to racialized members of our society having a lower life expectancy and worse quality of life.

Eliminating racism and reducing health inequities requires a combination of innovative solutions, challenging the status quo of our systems, and dismantling of structures of oppression/privilege. These changes will need to address the social determinants of health at multiple levels: transforming clinical care for individuals and families, bringing population health thinking into how health organizations function, collaborating with other sectors to intervene at the community level on factors like the built environment and access to care, and influencing policy to tackle systemic racism. This area of work exists at the interface between healthcare, public health, and public policy.

At Unity Health Toronto, the soon to be launched Centre for Anti-Racism and Health Equity’s vision is a world with no health inequities caused by historical or ongoing racism. The Centre will build upon and expand the demonstrated commitment of St. Michael’s Hospital and Unity Health Toronto to health equity and position our hospital as a living lab where care, research, education and training, people and partnerships function in tandem to dismantle barriers to healthcare for racialized people.

While health disparities have been extensively documented in countries with racially diverse populations, there is paucity of research about determinants of health disparities and the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce these disparities. Furthermore there is also an acute need for more research on how to successfully implement and scale strategies and interventions to improve health outcomes for racialized groups in Canada. Consequently, researchers, policy makers, and health care providers experience significant challenges and barriers to developing strategies to mitigate the effect of discrimination and bias on health outcomes in racialized communities.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The Chair holder is expected to lead a world-class program of impactful research and innovation that is focused on addressing anti-Black racism/racism and the influence of social determinants of health. Success of this program will be measured by its effectiveness in contributing meaningfully to improving the health and well-being of people belonging to systemically marginalized groups and providing significant contribution to Unity Health’s goals towards being a leader in health equity. The research program of the Chair should also impact health systems across Canada and internationally, through extensive knowledge translation and dissemination activities. The Chair will work closely with the Director of Anti-Racism, Equity and Social Accountability in the hospital, to ensure that work is implemented across Unity Health through the Centre for Anti-Racism and Health Equity. The Chair will have the opportunity to join St. Michael’s Hospital’s MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions, Canada’s largest research centre focused on health equity and the social determinants of health. MAP develops and implements real-world, evidence-driven program and policy solutions that disrupt cycles of socioeconomic exclusion and poor health.
- MD, PhD or equivalent, with graduate training in a relevant field (e.g. public health, health policy, health services research).
- Academic rank of Associate Professor (or eligible for appointment at this level) or higher at a recognized research institution
- A record of excellence in scientific productivity, which would likely include a strong publication record and impactful knowledge translation activities. We recognize the importance of research focused on action to address inequities and community partnerships, which may lead to fewer academic publications but higher impact of the research.
- A history of success with obtaining external peer-reviewed funding over the past 5 years, as both Nominated Principal Investigator (NPI) and co-PI. Funding can be from local, provincial, federal or private funding sources, but funding from the Canadian TriAgencies (CIHR/SSHRC/NSERC) or equivalent (eg. NIH) would be preferred.
- Experience in supervising and mentoring graduate students, post-doc fellows and other trainees
- Demonstrated knowledge and lived experience of health challenges facing Black, Indigenous, and racialized Canadians.
- Demonstrated experience with the design and evaluation of interventions to address anti-Black racism/ racism, taking into account t
