Position Description

The McGill University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences invites applications for two full-time Contract Academic Staff positions at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor (Clinical) based at the Jewish General Hospital (JGH). The professorial rank of the two successful candidates will be determined according to the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience.

The OBGYN Department at the Jewish General Hospital comprises specialists and subspecialists who provide the full complement of Obstetrical, Gynecologic and Oncologic services to the population. Our department is made up of 6 general OBGYN’s, 7 MFMs, 4 MIS and 5 Gyn Oncologist subspecialists. The JGH is the busiest Obstetrical centre on the island of Montreal, and our group ensures 24/7 in-house coverage of our high-volume labour and delivery unit, doing approximately 3600 deliveries per year. We collaborate with and support our Family Medicine Obstetrical Team and Midwifery team. We are a Tertiary level Centre offering specialized MFM care for complex pregnancy related conditions, and we receive many high-risk transfers from across the province annually. Our division of MIS ensures care of several thousand patients with complex gynecological cases and performs over 1000 surgical procedures per year using multiple approaches. Our Gyne-Oncology division provides state-of-the-art care to thousands of patients with gynecological malignancies and performed almost 300 robotic surgical cases last year. These two positions will be based at the Jewish General Hospital—a major teaching hospital affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Canada’s internationally renowned McGill University, located in the vibrant and multicultural city of Montreal, in the province of Quebec.
