The School of Nursing in Dalhousie\'s Faculty of Health invites applications from qualified candidates for a full-time, tenure stream faculty position at either the Assistant or Associate Professor level as a Nurse Practitioner. Exceptional cases at the Professor level may be considered.

Dalhousie University is comprised of 6,000 faculty and staff amongst its 13 faculties. Current enrollment is over 21,000 graduate and undergraduate students. As part of Canada\'s U15 research-intensive group, Dalhousie University is an influential driver of the region\'s intellectual, social and economic development.

The Faculty of Health\'s faculty, staff and students are committed to improving the well-being of individuals, families, communities and populations through diverse health programming, collaborative research, and strong community partnerships. The Faculty of Health is one of the largest faculties at Dalhousie, comprised of eight schools, one college and one program, more than 200 faculty members, 80 staff members, and over 3,000 students. With the most programmatically diverse health faculty in Canada, our students are exposed to a broad range of health topics and learning experiences.

The School of Nursing\'s Strategic Plan, which aligns with that of the Faculty of Health and Dalhousie University, guides the realization of our vision of transforming healthcare through nursing education, research, and scholarship. Our values are to strive for excellence; embed equity and inclusion in all that we do; embrace broad perspectives of health; care for our students, staff and faculty; collaborate with respect and reciprocity; and commit to viable growth.

By the time of appointment, applicants must hold either a Doctorate in Nursing, or a Masters in Nursing and a PhD in a health related field. Consideration will be given to applicants who have a PhD in progress, provided they have: 1. Completed their comprehensive exams, and 2.

The successful candidate is expected to lead an innovative and collaborative program of research that engages the community in an area relevant to Nurse Practitioner practice, for example, biomedical, health services, population health, health policy, health equity and patient/community engagement among others.
