Job Description

The Faculty of Dentistry, Dalhousie University, is seeking applications for a full-time, career-stream General Dentist at the rank of instructor.

The position will require a significant amount of clinical teaching in the undergraduate dental program, with the possibility of the addition of didactic and preclinical teaching responsibilities; one day per week may be set aside for clinical private practice. Additional expectations include participation in continuing education and extracurricular involvement, including Faculty committees.

Candidates must have successfully completed their National Dental Examining Board of Canada examinations and be eligible for licensure by the Provincial Dental Board of Nova Scotia. Preference will be given to candidates who have substantial experience in general dental practice and those who have preclinical or clinical teaching experience. The Faculty does not offer academic licensure. Salary will be commensurate with the successful candidate\'s qualifications, experience and achievements.

Inter-faculty collaborative and interactive research is encouraged, as is cooperation in teaching. Dalhousie University inspires students, faculty, staff and alumni to make significant contributions regionally, nationally, and to the world.

Dalhousie University is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Halifax is a vibrant capital city and is the business, academic, and medical centre for Canada\'s east coast.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Dalhousie University commits to achieving inclusive excellence through continually championing equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. The university encourages applications from Indigenous persons (especially Mi\'kmaq), persons of Black/African descent (especially African Nova Scotians), and members of other racialized groups, persons with disabilities, women, and persons identifying as members of 2SLGBTQ+ communities, and all candidates who would contribute to the diversity of our community.
