The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario invites applications for two full-time academic Obstetricians/Gynecologists in the Contractually Limited Appointment category: both positions are full-time (1.0 FTE) positions. The successful candidate will join the staff at St. Joseph’s Healthcare, Hamilton. The current McMaster complement of twenty generalists offers care in Obstetrics and Gynecology for the City of Hamilton, and LHINs 3 and 4 (Waterloo Wellington, Hamilton Niagara, Haldimand and Brant) covering a region of 30,000 deliveries per year. The position start dates will be in 2025 and can be negotiated with the successful candidates.

The successful academic OB/GYNs will have training and experience in obstetrics and gynecology. Special consideration will be given to candidates with additional postgraduate training beyond a residency program, such as fellowship, master’s or other advanced degree.
