The Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology (BPK) invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in Cardiac Arrhythmias to commence January 1, 2025, or a mutually agreed-upon date.
Desired Research Area
The ideal candidate will lead a research program using stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) to investigate inherited arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies at the Cellular and Regenerative Medicine Centre (CRMC). Areas may include studies on genetic variants associated with arrhythmias (e.g., ion channelopathies, sarcomeric proteins) or other cardiac diseases. The candidate will have a collaborative disposition and sufficiently broad interests and expertise to readily engage in collaborations with other researchers in BPK, at SFU and UBC, and with the broader cardiac arrhythmia community.
Core Duties of the Position in Cardiac Arrhythmias:
Qualifications for Assistant Professor
The successful candidate must hold a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree in molecular cardiac physiology, biophysics, electrophysiology, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline by the employment start date. The candidate must demonstrate:
Qualifications for Associate Professor
The successful candidate must hold a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree in molecular cardiac physiology, biophysics, electrophysiology, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline by the employment start date. Only those holding or expected to hold the rank prior to the employment start date will be considered. The candidate must demonstrate:
The typical workload distribution for assistant and associate professors in BPK is 40% research, 40% teaching, and 20% service. The successful candidate will foster a positive and inclusive working environment through respectful interactions with all faculty, staff, and students.
How To Apply
Candidates should address their applications to Dr. Glen Tibbits, Chair of the Search Committee. Applications should consist of a single PDF file inclusive of and bookmarked for the following components:
Candidates should submit their applications by email to bpkcs@sfu.ca with the subject line hiPSC-CMs_. Full consideration will be given to applications received by September 15, 2024.
Simon Fraser University is committed to ensuring that no individual is denied access to employment opportunities for reasons unrelated to ability or qualifications. Candidates that belong to underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
