Dalhousie University is Atlantic Canada’s leading research-intensive university and a driver of the region’s intellectual, social and economic development. Dalhousie is a truly national and international university, with more than half of its 18,500 students coming from outside of the province. The University’s 6,000 faculty and staff foster a vibrant, purpose-driven community, poised to celebrate 200 years of academic excellence in 2018. Dalhousie’s Medical School, with campuses in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Saint John, New Brunswick, and over 100 teaching sites across the Maritimes attracts some of Canada's top students, physicians, and health researchers.  The Faculty of Medicine includes an annual operating budget of more than $47 million.

 

Reporting to the Dean of Medicine, the Associate Dean (Research) promotes and champions research excellence within the Faculty of Medicine at Dalhousie University.  The Associate Dean (Research) has responsibility for leadership in and administration of research within the Faculty of Medicine and manages the Medical Research Development Office to ensure effective use of the Faculty’s resources in supporting research and graduate programs. As a member of the senior leadership team in the Faculty of Medicine, the Associate Dean (Research) plays an active and central role in Faculty-wide decision making, operational planning and strategy setting.  The Associate Dean (Research) supports all forms of scholarly endeavor within the Faculty of Medicine, assisting and mentoring researchers in securing ongoing support and investments from all sources including the three national granting councils, private industry, and numerous other funding partners. The Associate Dean (Research) works collaboratively with faculty, department heads, senior leaders, and staff within the Faculty of Medicine and plays a crucial leadership role in coordinating planning and research efforts with colleagues across the University including the Vice-President Research, the Office of Research Services and Associate Deans (Research) in other Faculties and with external partners and stakeholders including Vice-Presidents responsible for research in the health authorities of the Maritime Provinces, those responsible for health research within the government ministries of the Maritime Provinces, and research partners and funders within the national medical and health research sector.
