Consideration will be given to the alignment of the degree or equivalent (e.g., PhD, ScD) in an area applicable to occupational science or occupational therapy, be able to articulate existing/potential contributions to these fields through projected research, and identify potential mentors from within the division. The term of appointment will be for two years. Mentorship in all phases of scholarship will be provided. Opportunities for seed money and to participate in grantsmanship will be available. The Chan Division continues to thrive and has implemented a strategic plan that is grounded in our tripartite mission of leading innovation and promoting synergies in research, education, and practice.
