The Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology invites applications for a full-time probationary position at the rank of Instructor I, commencing April 26th, 2027, or on a mutually agreed upon date. In accordance with the University of Manitoba Faculty Association (UMFA) collective agreement, the successful candidate can expect to transition to a continuing appointment upon successful completion of the two year probationary period.

Qualifications/Requirements:

The Department seeks a committed educator with a track record of teaching excellence in neurophysiology and an interest in pedagogical development. Preference will be given to those with university-level teaching experience in neurophysiology who hold a PhD. Exceptional candidates holding other qualifications will also be considered (e.g., MSc). Teaching experience in other neuroscience subdisciplines, including neuropathology and medical neurosciences, is also an asset. The successful candidate will have the ability to independently create lecture material and work in a collaborative environment. The ability to also teach in other areas of pathophysiology is considered an asset.

Responsibilities:

Duties will include undergraduate, graduate, and medical student teaching in large or small groups, including in-person lectures, tutorials, online and distance delivery formats. Administrative duties related to teaching will include communication with students and course leaders, recruitment of tutorial leaders, and exam preparation. More specifically, the successful applicant is expected to make significant contributions to the undergraduate medical education program (Doctor of Medicine), including neurophysiology and clinical pathophysiology lectures for the Foundation of Medicine, Neurosciences 1 and Neurosciences 2 courses. The applicant will also be required to contribute to neurophysiology and clinical neuropathology teaching within the Master of Physician Assistant Studies Program, the Doctor of Pharmacy program, and the Department’s undergraduate and graduate level neurophysiology and pathophysiology courses.

The successful candidate will be a member of the Division of Neurophysiology & Spinal Cord Injury within the Department. Office space will be located on the 4th floor of the Basic Medical Sciences Building on the University of Manitoba’s Bannatyne Campus.

The Department currently has 25 full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty members and offers a range of undergraduate, post-baccalaureate diploma, and graduate programs. The Department Office provides support for both undergraduate and graduate teaching. Further information on the Department of Physiology & Pathophysiology can be obtained at https://umanitoba.ca/medicine/department-physiology-pathophysiology.

To enhance our department and create role models for a diverse population of students, we particularly invite applications from those who can support and enhance our diversity, including Indigenous peoples, women, racially marginalized persons, persons with disabilities, persons of marginalized sexualities and genders, and those committed to a diverse environment.

The Rady Faculty of Health Sciences is committed to the social justice principles of equity, access & participation and to promoting opportunities in hiring, promotion and tenure (where applicable) for systemically marginalized groups who have been excluded from full participation at the University and the larger community including Indigenous Peoples, Black, racially marginalized communities, disabled persons and those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual and other diverse sexual identities).

An inclusive, open and diverse community is essential to excellence and fosters voices that have been ignored or discouraged. To address the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences commitment to equity, access and participation, and in recognition of the underrepresentation of members of historically and currently excluded groups, we take proactive measures including implicit bias training for all hiring panels. We strive for diversity and cultural safety throughout the hiring process (hiring panels, short-list of candidates, interviews). The University acknowledges the potential impact that Career Interruptions and Personal Circumstances can have on an applicant's record of research achievement. Measures will be taken to ensure that these leaves will be taken into careful consideration during the evaluation process.

We encourage you to self- identify aspects of your identity that position you to bring currently under-represented viewpoints, expertise and forms of excellence to this role.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.

Review of applications will begin December 1, 2026 and may continue until the position is filled.
