The successful candidate must be eligible for an academic appointment within the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, at the rank of Associate or Full Professor. The term of the Chair position is 5-years with the opportunity for one 5-year renewal following a successful review. Effective start date is April 1, 2021, or a mutually agreeable date.

The Chair will be held by an Associate Professor or higher, with an established track record overseeing education at all levels, with a specific focus on fellowship training.

The primary use of funding will be to enhance and support fellowship training, including the support of academic research and scholarship by fellows.

The Chair holder will develop and lead educational strategies, at multiple levels (e.g., graduate students, residents, fellows, peers, patients) in heart failure. The role will involve active leadership nationally and internationally to advance educational strategies to address heart failure across the lifespan. The Chair holder will integrate, build and strengthen education in heart failure, and will champion collaborative and integrative educational initiatives to build bridges between Peter Munk Cardiac Centre at UHN, SickKids and UofT, as well as between basic science and clinical trainees.

The Chair holder will also collaborate with and leverage the expertise of six other Ted Rogers Centre Research Chairs.

Through educational initiatives and scholarly activities, the Chair holder will position the Centre as a global leader in education, knowledge generation and translation in the area of heart failure training and education.

Applicants from a wide variety of backgrounds, with an international reputation in their field, are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate must have a strong education focus and must hold either an MD or a PhD in a related discipline with significant expertise in cardiovascular education and research. If a practicing clinician, they must hold or be eligible for licensure in the province of Ontario. The candidate’s excellence and achievement in education should be evidenced by national and international collaborations, educational initiatives and leadership.

This appointment is supported by the Martha Rogers Chair in Heart Failure Training & Education endowment, and the Chair holder’s remuneration will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
