Full Time Instructor Restorative Dentistry
The Faculty of Dentistry, Dalhousie University, is seeking applications for a full-time, probationary appointment teaching restorative dentistry at the rank of Instructor. With appropriate experience and credentials, the successful applicant may be considered for the position of Assistant Director of the General Practice Residency Program.
Preference will be given to those candidates with teaching experience at the undergraduate level and those who have completed a general practice residency. Salary and academic rank will be commensurate with the successful candidate’s qualifications, experience and achievements.
Responsibilities will include didactic, pre-clinical, and clinical teaching in all aspects of restorative dentistry in the Faculty’s undergraduate programs. Broad experience with operative dentistry, removable, fixed and implant prosthodontics is desirable. Experience with digital prosthodontic workflows would be an asset. Additional expectations include active participation in Faculty committees, other administrative duties and scholarly activity.
Successful applicants must be licensed or eligible for licensure through the Provincial Dental Board of Nova Scotia and must hold a certificate from the National Dental Examining Board of Canada for general practice dentistry. Private practice privilege is integrated with this appointment; however, the Provincial Dental Board of Nova Scotia does not offer academic licensure.
Dalhousie University is one of Canada’s leading teaching and research universities with four professional faculties, a Faculty of Graduate Studies and a diverse complement of graduate programs. Inter-faculty collaborative and interactive research is encouraged, as is cooperation in teaching. Dalhousie University inspires students, faculty, staff and alumni to make significant contributions regionally, nationally, and to the world.
Dalhousie University is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Halifax is a vibrant capital city and is the business, academic, and medical centre for Canada’s east coast.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Dalhousie University is committed to fostering a collegial culture grounded in diversity and inclusiveness. The university encourages applications from Aboriginal people, persons with a disability, racially visible persons, women, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities, and all candidates who would contribute to the diversity of our community.
