Help build B.C.’s new medical school from the ground up!

At Simon Fraser University's School of Medicine (SoM), we envision a medical education system where students and residents learn as part of a team in primary care and other community-level settings and with a curriculum that considers social, environmental and prevention contexts. As we establish the school in Surrey, B.C., our growing relationships with the local community and with our partners (the Fraser Health Authority, the First Nations Health Authority, and the Divisions of Family Practice) will help us to meet the diverse health needs of the communities we serve and improve access to primary care throughout the province. We seek to advance Truth and Reconciliation by embedding and equalizing Indigenous knowledge systems in our learning, research and practices while resting on a solid foundation of high-quality, accredited education and world-class research efforts that keep us oriented towards measurable socially accountable outcomes. 

About the Role

The School of Medicine at Simon Fraser University invites applications for a Faculty Education and Support Lead – Indigenous Health.

The underlying faculty position will be made at the appropriate rank and category, commensurate with experience. To be eligible to hold the underlying faculty position, candidates are expected to be able to demonstrate contributions to teaching, service, and scholarship related to medical education and/or medical research. This is a part-time appointment (approximately 0.2 FTE) to facilitate other commitments candidates may have. 

The salary for the successful applicant will depend on the qualifications, rank, category of appointment, and experience of the candidate. For candidates with an MD, a reasonable estimate of the salary range is $55,580 – 60,580.

This position reports to the Associate Dean, Indigenous Health, and works collaboratively with the Assistant Dean, Faculty and Physician Engagement and Support.

In accordance with Section 42 of the BC Human Rights Code, preference will be given to applicants who self-identify as Indigenous Persons who are First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Canada. 

We recognize the deep knowledge, lived experiences, and cultural strengths that Indigenous scholars bring to our academic community. We are committed to fostering a welcoming and respectful environment where Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing are valued and supported.

Examples of support could include letters from urban-based organizations, respected community elders outside place-based family/Nations for those in the process of reclaiming place-based connections and/or similar expressions of support. We acknowledge the potential emotional labour and/or (re)traumatizing impacts of sharing personal narratives in this context and encourage applicants to consider this fully in their decision-making to apply. SFU recognizes and honours the title and rights of Indigenous people as stated in UNDRIP and we respect and partner with the host Indigenous Nations on which our campuses are located. We have the responsibility to illuminate the truth of Indigenous people in Canada and around the world and to begin to chart a path of Reconciliation.

We recognize the deep knowledge, lived experiences, and cultural strengths that Indigenous scholars bring to our academic community. We are committed to fostering a welcoming and respectful environment where Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing are valued and supported. We strive to create spaces where Indigenous scholars can thrive, lead, and shape the future of research, teaching, and community engagement. We welcome applications from

Indigenous scholars who are interested in joining a collegial and collaborative environment that honors Indigenous sovereignty, supports community-engaged scholarship, and is committed to meaningful and sustained relationships with Indigenous nations and communities.

Short-listed candidates will be asked by the committee to submit a personal self-identification narrative and a letter of support from their Indigenous community to be considered for this position. We understand and acknowledge the deleterious effects of colonial and ongoing systems and structures such as residential schools, the 60s scoop and “status” cards on Indigenous (First Nation, Inuit or Métis) identity. This process is therefore intended to be interpreted in a broad understanding of Indigenous lived experiences and Indigenous community. Examples of support could include letters from urban-based organizations, respected community elders outside place-based family/Nations for those in the process of reclaiming place-based connections and/or similar expressions of support. We acknowledge the potential emotional labour and/or (re)traumatizing impacts of sharing personal narratives in this context and encourage applicants to consider this fully in their decision-making to apply. SFU recognizes and honours the title and rights of Indigenous people as stated in UNDRIP and we respect and partner with the host Indigenous Nations on which our campuses are located. We have the responsibility to illuminate the truth of Indigenous people in Canada and around the world and to begin to chart a path of Reconciliation.
