Faculty Positions

Department of Physical Therapy

Applications are invited for two full-time tenure track positions in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Alberta. The department is located in renovated facilities within the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine and offers two degrees: an entry-level BSc degree in physical therapy, and a MSc degree in physical therapy. The department also participates fully in an interdisciplinary PhD degree program in rehabilitation science.

Qualified candidates should hold a doctoral degree and have a proven record of scholarly activity in teaching and research. Candidates should have a well-defined research agenda. Areas of particular interest include clinical research in adult neurological

disorders, geriatrics/aging, pain management, therapeutic exercise, and ergonomics/industrial physical therapy. Our faculty teach in both the entry-level and graduate programs in areas of their expertise and interest.

Faculty members in the department have active research affiliations with the Perinatal Research Centre, the Gerontology Centre, the Rick Hansen Centre (studies of spinal cord injured athletes), the Division of Neuroscience, the Glen Sather Sports Medicine

Clinic, and the Health Care Quality Outcomes Research Centre. Within the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, the Centre for the Study of Clinical Education conducts research and training workshops related to clinical supervision, and the Rehabilitation Research Centre is a focal point for multi-disciplinary research. Close working relationships exist with the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital and other community-based programs in physical therapy. This provides a dynamic, rich environment for physical therapy education, research and clinical opportunities. The department is also actively engaged in international education, service and research programs.

Rank and salary will be commensurate with qualifications at the assistant professor ($39,490 to $55,882 p.a.) or associate professor level ($49,052 to $70,124 p.a.). The positions are available July 1, 1998. Closing date for applications is January 31, 1998; however, applications will be accepted until positions are filled.
