The Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa is accepting applications for one tenure-track faculty position in the School of Human Kinetics with scholarly expertise in the area of sport governance.
The School of Human Kinetics (SHK) provides a bilingual, interdisciplinary academic and research environment in which to study the biophysical and social contributions of physical, activity, sport, and leisure and their interrelationship with the health of individuals, communities, and societies. Providing both undergraduate and graduate training, the SHK is committed to educating capable graduates who wish to positively impact society through their knowledge, skills, and competencies related to the benefits of physical activity, sport, and leisure.
The city of Ottawa, located in the National Capital Region, encompasses the two largest cultural and linguistic communities in Canada. The University of Ottawa, situated near many national agencies including Sport Canada, Health Canada, as well as numerous national sport organizations, is recognized as the first and largest bilingual university in North America. The University provides to approximately 40,000 students and 5,500 employees a dynamic and stimulating environment where research and knowledge are fundamental to all aspects of university life.
The Faculty of Health Sciences is made up of five academic units: Human Kinetics, Nursing, Nutrition Sciences, Rehabilitation Sciences, and the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences. The Faculty excels in its research endeavours thanks to the efforts of over 100 researchers working in a variety of disciplines.
To move forward with the Faculty and School’s strategic research direction related to sport and impacts on individuals and society, we are seeking applications for a researcher with an expertise in the area of Sport Governance at the rank of Associate or Full Professor.
