Dear colleagues,
As you may recall, in November 2022 I shared the news that the proposal submitted by the UBC Department of Psychiatry, in partnership with BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHRI) and the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health (DMCBH), was selected for funding in the 2022 FoM Academic Renewal Program, intended to support junior faculty recruitment.
I am pleased to announce that we have now initiated the recruitment for a full-time Assistant Professor, Tenure Track position, which will be based at the BCCHRI site and will focus on translational research in high-complexity psychiatric youth with depression. This recruitment in the high-priority area of youth mental health is in strong alignment with the strategic priorities of both the Department and the Faculty of Medicine, and further strengthens our collaborative partnerships with both BCCHRI and DMCBH.
The full job posting is currently listed on the UBC Workday Faculty Careers Site, and will also be advertised in national and international journals and job boards in the very near future. The candidate review and selection process will begin on May 1, 2023. Should you have any questions regarding this faculty career opportunity, please kindly direct them to Vicky Yau, Director, Administration, at vicky.yau@ubc.ca.
I look forward to sharing more news and updates with you as we move forward with this recruitment. In the meantime, I ask that you please share this faculty career opportunity widely across your own networks and channels.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lakshmi N. Yatham
Professor and Head, Department of Psychiatry
Director, Institute of Mental Health
University of British Columbia
