Job description
Job Summary & Key Responsibilities

Dr. Donald Hill, a Dalhousie alumnus with a distinguished career in business, medicine and research, created three prestigious postdoctoral fellowships in 2018 in the areas of Medicine, Computer Science (in collaboration with Engineering) and Arts and Social Sciences. These fellowships have been created to accelerate the careers of recent doctoral graduates engaged in leading-edge research who have also demonstrated an interest in the impact of technology on broader society.

While the primary focus of the postdoctoral fellowships is advancement within each individual field of Medicine, Computer Science and Humanities/Social Sciences, there is an expectation that fellows will become engaged and appreciate the necessity and benefits of interfacing with a wide diversity of disciplines, knowledge, and cultures to recognize and solve emerging challenges. The intent is not to develop answers, but to become skilled at framing the entire scope of these challenges and exploring/inventing different vehicles and methodologies to seek comprehensive solutions.

Position Summary:

Dalhousie University is currently seeking applications for the prestigious Donald Hill Family postdoctoral fellowship position within the Faculty of Medicine. The successful candidate will have a strong research track record in their field of study and will have research interests which align with and support on-going initiatives within the Faculty of Medicine. Applicants will also have a demonstrable interest in broader societal impact of emerging technology and promotion of a culture of accountability for the future of society. The successful applicant will join Dalhousie as a Donald Hill Family Postdoctoral Fellow, working with other Fellows from the Faculties of Computer Science and Arts & Social Sciences to meet the objectives of this fellowship program while engaging full-time in their own research.
