This postdoctoral fellowship is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is part of Dr. OmiSoore H. Dryden’s research program in Black Health Studies, Black Studies, and Black queer and trans studies.

The fellow will work on a multi-site Canadian research project using community-engaged and mixed-methods approaches. Responsibilities include contributing to research design, ethics materials, qualitative and quantitative data collection, data management, analysis, mixed-methods integration, publications, presentations, policy resources, and knowledge mobilization. The role also includes mentoring research assistants and trainees and supporting community advisory and governance processes.

Eligibility is targeted to applicants who self-identify as Black/persons of African descent, with Black applicants who also identify as members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities especially encouraged to apply. Applicants must have a completed PhD, or complete it by the start date, in epidemiology, implementation science, public/population health, health services research, or a closely related interdisciplinary health field, plus training or scholarship in Black Studies, Black queer and trans studies, gender and sexuality studies, or related areas.

Additional strengths include experience with community-engaged research, funded projects, research ethics, REDCap, NVivo, quantitative/statistical software, survey or epidemiologic methods, and French-language proficiency. The appointment is for 2 years, with an anticipated start date of January 11, 2027. Salary is $62,000.
