Assistant Professor - Probationary (Tenure Track)

Department of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Position # 34265

Description and responsibilities:

Enhance the University's competitiveness in infectious disease research through peerreviewed national and international grant funding.
Conduct research that takes advantage of MMID's newly constructed containment level (CL) 3 _in vitro_ lab and a new animal CL3 lab that has been approved for building.
Perform research that will ultimately improve the health of Manitobans, Canadians, and global citizens.
Provide leadership in the operations and management of the UM CL3 labs.
Provide a learning environment that will attract top research trainees and mentor them to have success in obtaining scholarships and publish in top journals in the field.
Provide knowledge translation that will inform key stakeholders and the general public about the importance of infectious disease research.
Respectfully engage with community members in Winnipeg and internationally wherever the work occurs.

The duties of this position include teaching, research, and service:

Teaching: Will be responsible for teaching courses at the undergraduate and graduate student level and mentoring/supervising research trainees.
Research: Develop and maintain a rigorous, independent, nationally funded, research program that is highly collaborative involving local, national, and international partners. The program should be highly collaborative with members of MMID, the University and regional partners such as local hospitals, the provincial Cadham Laboratory, the National Microbiology Laboratory and the National Foreign Animal Disease Laboratory. The focus of this position is on containment level 3 emerging pathogens. The program must involve _in vitro _CL3 work utilizing the new _in vitro_ laboratory built by MMID for this purpose. The possibility of animal CL3 work will be considered, but for the next 35 years must involve well defined relationships with external partners until the UM's new animal CL3 lab is complete.
Service: Service will be to the department, Max Rady College of Medicine, and University of Manitoba. External service includes outreach activities to the wider community, the external scientific community through manuscript and grant reviews, as well as service in professional societies.

Qualifications:
