Description The Division of Urology in the Sprott Department of Surgery at the University Health Network (UHN), Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and the University of Toronto is accepting applications for two full‑time faculty positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor for Academic Urologic Oncologists, with a specific interest and demonstrated training and experience in open and robotic urologic oncology. The individuals we seek should have advanced training and skills in these areas through formal fellowship experience. The effective date of these appointment will be July 1, 2026, but can be flexible depending on candidates.

One of the candidates will support the career transition of one of our existing senior urologic oncologists. Both applicants will be considered active staff, covering specialty calls and general urology calls; educating urology trainees, medical students, and other learners; promoting a positive work culture and supportive training environment; prioritizing patient-centred care; and striving for diversity within the community.

Applicants are required to hold a MD degree and certification in Urology from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or a recognized equivalent certifying body. The individuals must be eligible for licensure by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. All candidates must be proficient in English.

A secondary graduate degree is required at the masters (MSc) or doctoral level (PhD). Applicants should demonstrate a track record of commitment to excellence in urologic surgery training, clinical service, and scholarship, and seek a position that would involve a 50% time commitment to academic activities focused on research. These positions entail full-time faculty appointments in the Department of Surgery at University of Toronto. The candidates must be eligible for an appointment at the academic rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, and an appointment at the Princess Margaret Research Institute.

The primary appointment of the individuals will be in the Division of Urology at UHN, which offers an excellent opportunity for career development with an internationally recognized tradition of academic urology situated in a rich clinical and academic environment.
