The Department of Chemistry invites applications for a tenure-stream appointment at
the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the area of Biological Mass
Spectrometry.
York University is a leader in regional innovation networks that draw together
industry and academic research, such as the National Centre for Medical Device
Development (NCMDD) consortium. The NCMDD partners are working together to
develop Canada’s first public-private research facility in Markham, Ontario for
interdisciplinary research and commercialization of medical devices. In order to build
upon our strengths and prominence in medical devices and to expand this area, the
successful candidate will be expected to participate in a growing cluster of medical
device and related researchers with complementary strengths across the University
who are engaged in collaborative and interdisciplinary work through this leadingedge consortium, including renowned research centres such as the Centre for
Research in Mass Spectrometry (CRMS).
The successful candidate will have: a PhD; post-doctoral experience in a relevant
area; a demonstrated record of research achievement in mass spectrometry with
applications to biomedical research and/or disease biomarkers; an interest and desire
to collaborate with medical practitioners and researchers to apply mass spectrometry
and ancillary technologies to ultimately effect better patient outcome and care; and an
interest and desire in collaborating with teams of researchers in the private sector and
other research institutions to develop medical devices that translate the outcomes of
research into commercializable products. The successful candidate will be expected
to develop a strong, externally-funded research program and to contribute to teaching
at the undergraduate and graduate levels and be eligible for prompt appointment to
the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
