Dalhousie University is Atlantic Canada's leading research-intensive university and a driver of the region's intellectual, social and economic development. Located in the heart of Halifax, Nova Scotia, with an Agricultural Campus in Truro/Bible Hill, Dalhousie is a truly national and international university, with more than half of our almost 21,000 students coming from outside of the province. Our 6,000 faculty and staff foster a vibrant, purpose-driven community, that celebrated 200 years of academic excellence in 2018.

Dalhousie University's Faculty of Medicine (also known as the Medical School) teaches scientific excellence and humanities in medicine, facilitates leading health research, influences social and health policy, and helps drive the regional economy. An integral part of Atlantic Canada since 1868, the Medical School's success has always been linked to our relevance to the communities we serve. Reporting to the Director, Human Resources (Faculty of Medicine), the Human Resources Advisor is responsible for providing Human Resource (HR) advice and consultation for optimal HR-related services for all faculty and staff in the Faculty of Medicine.
