About this position
The University of British Columbia’s MacIsaac School of Nursing invites applications for three full-time Postdoctoral Fellows in the Movember Institute Discovery Research Program. Based at the UBC Vancouver campus, the Fellows will contribute to an international research program focused on building capacity in boys’ and men’s emotional and relational health.
Each Fellow will design, lead, and deliver an independent five-year research program focused primarily on underserved boys and young men aged 12–35. Projects will address one or more of the program’s themes: Coping and Consumption, Social Connection, and Early Fatherhood. The role offers substantial independence in developing research projects, annual workplans, milestones, outputs, and partnerships.
The Fellow will be mentored by Professor John Oliffe, the Movember Institute Professorial Fellow for Canada, with co-supervision arrangements available where appropriate. The three UBC Fellows will form the Canadian hub of the Discovery Research Program and join an international cohort of 11 Fellows working across Australia, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Research activities will include interdisciplinary inquiry into complex men's health issues; collaboration with community, practice, policy, and health-system partners; translation of findings into services, policy, and practice; and communication with academic and community audiences. Fellows will also contribute to the recruitment and mentorship of a nested PhD Scholar and may mentor junior trainees and students.
The program provides structured mentorship, professional development, international collaboration, regular cohort activities, and participation in national and international research communities. The anticipated start date is April 1, 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter.
