The School of Public Policy and Administration seeks an exceptional scholar specializing in health care governance who demonstrates strong potential to become a future leader in the field. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a high-quality, impactful research program in the social sciences and humanities examining the socio-economic structures and institutional factors that shape health care systems, including the human resource, financial, ethical, ideological, legal, or organizational dimensions of health care governance, regulation, or policy. The research will contribute to understanding the historical evolution of health care systems in the context of complex, multi-level governance arrangements spanning public, private, and/or voluntary sectors, as well as Indigenous governments and organizations. Research on the Canadian health care system or comparative work would be an asset.
Tier II Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e., candidates must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination). Applicants who are more than 10 years from having earned their highest degree (and where career breaks exist, such as maternity, parental or extended sick leave, COVID disruptions, clinical training, etc.) may have their eligibility for a Tier II Chair assessed through the program’s Tier II justification process.
For more details, please see the Canada Research Chairs Secretariat at https://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/ and the Carleton Office for Research Initiatives at https://carleton.ca/coris/ .
Appointment is conditional on the approval of the nomination by the CRC Program.
