at University of Victoria


We are pleased to announce a call for applications for three (3) Postdoctoral Fellowship positions (full-time, 2 years) in the School of Public Health & Social Policy at the University of Victoria (Canada) under the direct supervision of Dr. Nathan Lachowsky as part of his Community-based Health Equity Research (CHER) team. Each position is associated with one primary study, with the opportunity to collaborate and support other projects of the CHER team. One position is primarily with our provincial HIV In My Day oral history project, the second position with our national mixed methods Group Sex study, and the third position with our national 2SLGBTQQIA+ health studies on COVID and chronic health. We have numerous new and ongoing projects related to HIV (e.g. PrEP, U=U) and sexual and reproductive health. These Postdoctoral Fellowships will be an opportunity to learn, apply, and lead qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods approaches within the context of community-based research studies. These Postdoctoral Fellow positions can begin as soon as possible, or as negotiated. Remote working arrangements may be possible to start, but eventual physical relocation to Canada is required for international applicants.
