Dalhousie University, one of Canada's leading universities, is widely recognized for outstanding academic quality and teaching, and a broad range of educational and research opportunities.
Located in vibrant Halifax, Nova Scotia since 1818, Dalhousie attracts high achieving students from around the world. We inspire students, faculty, staff, and graduates to make significant contributions to our region, Canada, and the world.

Faculty

Number of Faculty Staff Headcount: 1,143

Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.

Inclusion and exclusion mirrors those for academic faculty staff. In case of dual citizenship, the 'deciding' criteria should be 'citizenship obtained through birth', basically first passport obtained.
