The successful candidate will hold a PhD, or equivalent, and have a background related to at least one of the Schools in FHS.  The successful candidate will have demonstrated 1) excellence and varied experiences in online teaching, 2) enthusiasm for quality and innovative educational practices, 3) a track record of educational scholarship that includes peer-reviewed publications, and national/international exposure through conference presentations or the development of open educational resources, as examples. Evidence of educational leadership would be beneficial.  The successful candidate will have a demonstrated capacity to contribute substantively to an inclusive and diverse academic community.  The successful candidate will be expected to teach online and face-to-face mainly at the graduate level but also at the undergraduate level; contribute to course and curriculum development; participate in relevant educational scholarly activities, including the acquisition of funding and dissemination of scholarship; and engage in service to the School and the Faculty of Health Sciences. In short, the successful candidate will be an academic with demonstrated teaching and educational scholarly activity, creativity, and leadership ability.
