Health Economist Position
The Department of Community Health Sciences, in collaboration with the Institute for Public Health and the Svare Professorship in Health Economics at the University of Calgary, invite applications for a contingent-term full-time academic position (Assistant or Associate Professor) in Health Economics. The position offers the opportunity to pursue independent and collaborative research in Health Economics within a multidisciplinary environment that includes a new Institute for Public Heath and graduate training stream in Health Economics (both MSc and PhD). The candidate will work within a dynamic group of health economists who can provide strong mentorship.

There will be significant protected time (at least 50%) for research. The preferred candidate will be expected to compete for operational research support from peer-reviewed agencies such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
