At UBC, we believe that attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce is key to the successful pursuit of excellence in research, innovation, and learning for all faculty, staff and students, and is essential to fostering an outstanding work environment.

Our commitment to employment equity helps achieve inclusion and fairness, brings rich diversity to UBC as a workplace, and creates the necessary conditions for a rewarding career.

Job Description Summary

The UBC Department of Family Practice (DFP) has established the primary care Innovation Support Unit (ISU) in 2018 to connect, engage, and partner with those who are actively involved in innovations in primary care.

The ISU is focused on supporting innovations in community-situated, team-based care (TBC) in BC, which includes initiatives in primary care transformation such as the Patient's Medical Home (PMH) and Primary Care Networks (PCNs).

These are provincial strategic elements in achieving a sustainable and high-quality community and primary care system in BC. We are working with collaborators at UBC, the Ministry of Health, BC primary care communities, and several other groups.

These different workstreams require comprehensive planning, management and communication both within the university and with our stakeholder groups. In each of these workstreams, the ISU takes an action-oriented research approach to supporting change and improvement.

There is increasing interest and support from a growing community of providers, divisions of family practice, health authorities, Ministry of Health, academic collaborators, and others to work with the ISU.

The ISU has been established as a small but nimble and highly networked team, working with many stakeholders.

We are currently expanding, looking to hire up to 4 more FTEs to the team, including coordinators to lead and manage the workstreams.

The Research Coordinator positions will provide leadership and work with considerable autonomy while collaborating with ISU connected faculty and other team members to develop/plan and manage the workstreams they are responsible for.

Some of the planned workstreams will require more familiarity with quantitative analysis.

As the ISU strives towards a Teal organizational structure, with a number of autonomous workstreams, the ISU Workstream Research Coordinator is responsible for participating in as well as overseeing independent workstream as required.

The ISU works very collaboratively and seeks to match team members to projects / workstreams that build on their strengths and skills.

The ISU has opportunities for people with a range of skills and experience to broaden the team's views as we tackle the complex challenges in primary care.

We are looking for diversity and a broad range of experiences to complement other members of the team. Specifically, we are seeking coordinators with a mix of clinical, quantitative, qualitative and/or design thinking skills.
