Chair in Markets for Health Professionals: McMaster University
Location: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Applications are invited for an Ontario Research Chair in Markets for Health Professionals at McMaster University.
This research chair is funded through an endowment by the Government of Ontario. The Chair will be expected to:
- establish a strong, quantitative research program analyzing the markets for health professionals;
- work with data agencies, professional associations, research units, and relevant ministries to enhance data available to support such research;
- contribute to graduate training in economics and health policy and supervise post-doctoral fellows, particularly in the area of health human resource policy; and
- advise the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care with respect to quantitatively modeling the need for and supply of health professionals.
McMaster University is a research-intensive university that was recently named Canada’s Research University of the Year, has been ranked as one of the world’s top 100 universities and as one of the best places in work in academia outside the US. The primary appointment of the Chair is expected to be in the Department of Economics, which has a strong research focus, excels in applied, empirical microeconomics including health, labour and public economics, and offers graduate training at both the masters and doctoral levels. Joint appointment in the Faculty of Health Science is possible, as is membership in the internationally recognized Centre for Health Economics and Policy Analysis.
The chair is a tenured position to be filled at the level of professor or senior associate professor. It offers a competitive salary and funding to support the chair’s research program.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. However, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. McMaster University is strongly committed to employment equity within its community, and to recruiting a diverse faculty and staff. The University encourages applications from all qualified candidates, including women, members of visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, members of sexual minorities and persons with disabilities.
