The University of Manitoba, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine and Shared Health have developed a unique partnership to actively support health education, research, and the provision of the highest standard of quality patient care. Focused on providing medicine with meaning, advancing knowledge and technology and educating tomorrow’s health care professionals, it is our collaborative strengths that will lead us into the future.

Job Description

This person would also be expected to maintain a small teaching practice providing adult gynaecologic care and participate in the on-call schedule for gynecology. Clinical responsibilities may include adolescent and adult obstetrical care and associated call coverage, depending on the interests of the candidate.

The successful candidate will have sufficient research experience to effectively use the 30% allocated research time to further the academic pursuits of the Section of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology. Research infrastructure, specifically the Women’s Health Research Support Unit, is available to support researchers in the department with regulatory requirements, study design, participant recruitment and analysis. Startup research funds are available with the intended goal of establishing an independently-funded research program.

The successful candidate will also demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, essential to work with this unique patient population and to foster collaborative interprofessional and interdisciplinary relationships. The section of pediatric and adolescent gynecology is small group of clinicians with a strong history of interdisciplinary collaboration between the departments of OBGYN and the pediatric subspecialties.

What We Offer:

  • A small and vibrant section interested in furthering the reproductive care of young people in Manitoba. There is a wealth of opportunity within our institution to create meaningful change for this unique patient population of children and adolescents seeking gynecologic care.
  • A state-of-the art facility, Women’s Hospital Winnipeg Health Sciences, which opened in late 2019 offering patients and providers both the latest technology and an unparalleled aesthetic in hospital architecture.

  • Approachable and accessible support and collaboration from colleagues in obstetrics, gynecology, general pediatrics, pediatric urology, pediatric endocrinology and pediatric surgery. There is especially immense untapped opportunity for research collaboration.
  • Research support to navigate a new academic system and establish a research program, specifically our Women’s Health Research Support Unit and our departmental wet-lab affiliated with the Child Health Research Institute of Manitoba (CHRIM).
  • A multicultural city, Winnipeg, with excellent restaurants, rich cultural experiences, affordable housing for young families and a diversity of scholastic opportunities for school-aged children. Winnipeg offers the best of all seasons with plenty of outdoor opportunities throughout the year: sunny winter skies, beautiful long summer days and cottage-country within easy driving distance.

We strive for diversity and cultural safety throughout the hiring process (hiring panels, short-list of candidates, interviews). We encourage you to self-identify any aspect of diversity in your cover letter.

The University of Manitoba is committed to the principles of equity, diversity & inclusion and to promoting opportunities in hiring, promotion and tenure (where applicable) for systemically marginalized groups who have been excluded from full participation at the University and the larger community including Indigenous Peoples, women, racialized persons, persons with disabilities and those who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual and other diverse sexual identities). All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
