کام کی تفصیل

The Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology (BPK) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Cardiac Arrhythmias to commence September 1, 2024, or a mutually agreed-upon date.

مطلوبہ تحقیقی علاقہ
The ideal candidate will lead a research program using stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) to investigate inherited arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies at the Cellular and Regenerative Medicine Centre (CRMC). Areas may include studies on genetic variants associated with arrhythmias (e.g., ion channelopathies, sarcomeric proteins) or other cardiac diseases. Through their research, the ideal candidate will make use of available state-of-the-art infrastructure designed for optimal development and phenotyping of hiPSC-CMs to study this cardiac dysfunction. The candidate will have a collaborative disposition and sufficiently broad interests and expertise to readily engage in collaborations with other researchers in BPK, at SFU and UBC, and with the broader cardiac arrhythmia community.

Core duties of the Assistant Professor in Cardiac Arrhythmias:
• Research: Develop an externally funded research program devoted to advancing the field of channelopathy / cardiomyopathy research using hiPSC-CMs, supervise and mentor graduate students and other highly qualified personnel, and disseminate discoveries through peer- reviewed publications, conference presentations, and other forums appropriate to the discipline.
• Teaching: Teach undergraduate and graduate courses in the areas of molecular cardiac physiology and contribute to curriculum and program development.
• Service: Serve the Department, the University, and the larger scientific community by contributing to committee work and in departmental initiatives.
The typical workload distribution for assistant professors in BPK is 40% research, 40% teaching, and 20% service. In carrying out these duties, the successful candidate will advance BPK’s goals to foster equity, diversity, and inclusion; for example, by working to eliminate the barriers that impede the ability of department members from historically underrepresented and marginalized populations to achieve their full potential. The successful candidate will foster a positive and inclusive working environment through respectful interactions with all faculty, staff, and students. The responsibilities, terms, and conditions of employment of faculty are listed in the SFUFA-SFU Collective Agreement.

The following credentials, skills, expertise, experience, values, and attitudes comprise the desired qualifications.
