Tenure-track applicants will also have an established program of research related to nursing care and outcomes across the healthcare continuum (i.e., home care, acute care, and/or long term care). Priority will be given to quantitative researchers focused on advancing nursing / healthcare knowledge, practice and/or policy in the areas of chronic conditions, acute care, patient-oriented research, or implementation science. Furthermore, applicants will have a record of teaching and research that will contribute to the ongoing success of the School’s undergraduate and graduate programs, and its research and community collaboration profiles.

Limited-term faculty applicants will have a strong record of teaching that will contribute to the success of the School’s undergraduate and graduate programs.

The fully accredited Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing offers three dynamic programs: the Collaborative Nursing Degree Program, offered in partnership with Centennial and George Brown Colleges; the Post Diploma Nursing Degree Program; and a Master of Nursing Program that includes the Ontario Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner Program. The School has a diverse student body of approximately 2,500 full-time students as well as 2,500 part-time students in outreach and continuing education partnership programs. We take pride in our innovative and responsive approach to educating nurses. The School works from a strong, shared leadership model that values and encourages the involvement of faculty across and between programs and supports the active participation of faculty and students in all aspects of scholarship. We view scholarship in its broadest sense to be inclusive of the scholarship of teaching, discovery, integration and application. Advancing scholarly, research and creative activities and productivity is a high priority for the School in order to support excellence in undergraduate and graduate education in nursing and to promote the health and well-being of our urban community. Our Tier1 Canada Research Chair in Design and Evaluation of Health Interventions and our Research Chair in Urban Health offer synergistic opportunities to build and expand our existing research capacity.
