$200k per year

University of Toronto

Description:

The Department of Psychiatry in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto invites applications for the Krembil Chair in Neuroscience and Mental Health. The successful candidate must currently hold, or be eligible for, a Full-Time Clinical (MD) or Status-Only (PhD) academic appointment with the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, at the rank of Professor; Associate Professors may also be considered based on their experience and accomplishments. The Chair will be held for a five-year term with the opportunity for one 5-year renewal following a successful review. The anticipated start date is January 1, 2027, or on a mutually agreed upon date. 

The Chairholder will advance transformative neuroscience research to deepen our understanding of mental health and brain science and improve outcomes for individuals living with mental disorders. The Chairholder will build and foster interdisciplinary collaboration across neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, engineering, data science, genetics, and other related disciplines to accelerate discovery and translation from brain science to clinical impact. The successful candidate will be an internationally recognized scientist with a strong record of independent research in mental health and brain science. The successful candidate’s research excellence must be evidenced by collaborations and peer-reviewed publications in leading journals. A track record of collaborative science, productivity, and leadership is essential. 

The Chairholder is expected to:

  • Contribute significantly to the body of scholarship and advancement of mental health and brain science research.
  • Provide leadership in advancing approaches to the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders, while fostering high-impact neuroscience research that informs clinical practice, policy, and patient outcomes
  • Lead and advance a comprehensive research program leveraging discoveries in neuroscience to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders.
  • Mentor and cultivate the next generation of researchers in mental health and neuroscience, fostering innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
  • Build and strengthen inclusive and collaborative national and international partnerships with a broad range of stakeholders to advance neuroscience research, innovation, and impact in the treatment of mental disorders.


Scientists who are contributing significantly to the body of scholarship and advancement of mental health and brain science, with an international reputation in their field, are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate must have a strong research focus and hold either an MD or a PhD in a relevant discipline with significant expertise in this area of research. If a practicing physician, the candidate must hold an MD, MBBS, or equivalent degree and already be certified or be eligible for certification by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada or have comparable qualifications; and the candidate must also hold or be eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. 


The Chair will be based at one of the nine fully-affiliated TAHSN hospitals. If the Chairholder is a practicing physician, they are expected to become a member of the hospital’s academic practice plan and will be entitled to additional support for their clinical activities.  Total compensation will depend on the amount of clinical work performed (estimated based on fee for service billing).   The salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. The salary range of this position exceeds $200,000 CAD per annum.

U of T has one of the strongest research and teaching faculties in North America, and is consistently ranked as the top Canadian university in international rankings. The Toronto Academic Health Science Network (TAHSN), composed of the University and its nine fully affiliated institutes, is one of the world’s largest, most productive academic health science centres.
