The Department of Medicine at University Health Network (UHN) and Sinai Health is seeking to recruit a medical geneticist to join a growing team at The Fred A. Litwin Family Centre in Genetic Medicine. The successful candidate will be eligible for a clinical academic appointment at the rank of Lecturer or Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto. Effective start date is January 1, 2026 or thereafter.

The Fred A. Litwin Family Centre in Genetic Medicine oversees an adult genetics program serving a diverse population in the Greater Toronto catchment area and beyond. We are a rapidly growing program with a multi-disciplinary team that includes clinical and metabolic geneticists, genetic counsellors, dietitians, social workers and administrative staff. The Centre serves as a training site for the University of Toronto post-graduate training program in Medical Genetics and, as the only dedicated adult genetics clinic in Ontario, manages care across all aspects of clinical genetic indications including longitudinal care for a large population of metabolic genetic disease patients. The successful candidate would be involved in the general genetics clinic and should have a strong aptitude in undergraduate and post-graduate MD teaching. There is also ample opportunity for involvement in self-initiated and collaborative academic research.

The successful candidate must hold an MD degree and should hold or be eligible for certification in medical genetics by The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (or equivalent, e.g. American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomics) and hold or be eligible for licensure with the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ontario. The ideal candidate would have experience and certification in metabolic genetics.

Estimated remuneration will be in the range of $200,000-$300,000 and commensurate with academic rank, qualifications and experience. We will accept applications from September 1, 2025 until the position is filled. Please address letters of application, along with a curriculum vitae and names with contact information for three referees, to:
