    Description

    Job Summary

    The research assistant will be working on research projects involving children born with CHD and those born preterm. The research assistant will be involved in recruiting participants, build and maintain databases, as well as connect with families to schedule study visits.

    Organizational Status

    Reporting to the Principal Investigator and Senior Research Associate/Project Manager, the research assistant is responsible for applying straightforward technical knowledge and skills to perform well-defined, routine procedures in clinical research.

    The Department of Pediatrics is located at the BC Children's Hospital (BCCH). Conceptually and practically, it has a dual identity: it is the Department of Pediatrics of the Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia (UBC), and it is the Department of Pediatrics, BC Children's Hospital, an Agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA). As such, the Head is not only the Head of the Department of Pediatrics at UBC, but is also the Chief, Pediatric Medicine, BCCH. The Department's faculty, almost all of whom are pediatricians, are academic or clinical appointees of the University of British Columbia and are based at BCCH, Sunnyhill Health Center for Children, or in community practices.

    The Department consists of twenty one Divisions: Adolescent Health, Allergy, Biochemical Diseases, Cardiology, Critical Care, Dermatology, Developmental Pediatrics, Emergency, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, General Pediatrics, Hematology/Oncology, Immunology, Infectious Diseases, Neonatology, Nephrology, Neurology, Palliative Care, Translational Therapeutics, Respiratory Medicine and Rheumatology. Given the role of BCCH as a tertiary care centre, the medical staff in these Divisions not only provide direct on-site clinical care, but also act as a provincial resource for medical practitioners throughout British Columbia. Further, all Divisions are engaged in teaching, academic or clinical research, the scope of which collaboratively includes UBC, Sunny Hill Health Centre, C&W, and PHSA. The Department includes: Academic Faculty, Clinical Faculty, UBC Management, CUPE staff, C&W non contract staff, Non Union Technicians, Post Doc Fellows, Clinical Fellows, Residents and Medical Students.
