FACULTY MEMBER, NUTRITION

The University of Saskatchewan invites applications for two tenure-track positions in Nutrition at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank within the Division of Nutrition and Dietetics, College of Pharmacy and Nutrition.
Applicants must hold a PhD in human nutrition or associated field and at least one of the positions must obtain registration with the Saskatchewan College of Dietitians within the first year of their appointment. Applicants are required to have demonstrated excellence in teaching and have a quality publication record of scholarly work.

The University of Saskatchewan offers a wide breadth of programming for our researchers across a range of disciplines, but also has Signature Areas of special importance to our institution (https://research.usask.ca/about/signature-areas-of-research.php). The University also has the widest array of health science programs in Canada. The scope of these programs and strong affiliations with hospitals and healthcare facilities across the province contribute to an excellent environment for interprofessional teaching, clinical practice, and research. The College of Pharmacy and Nutrition is housed in the University’s Health Sciences Building, home to several health training programs, which will greatly support those applicants interested in creating interprofessional and collaborative models of nutrition-related research.
The successful candidate will be appointed to a tenure-track position. The salary bands (2025-2026 academic year) for this post are Assistant Professor $110,489 to $131,900 and Associate Professor $131,909 to $153, 329.
