Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada The University of British Columbia Full time
Job Summary
BC Children's Hospital BioBank (BCCH BioBank, BCCHB) collects patient samples and annotated data from children and women with their consent and securely stores them for future research purposes. BCCH BioBank requires a Research Assistant for 1 year (with possibility of extension) to provide general assistance in a research setting under the direction of the Principal Investigators, Drs. Suzanne Vercauteren and Jonathan Bush, and senior members of the BioBank.

Organizational Status
The BCCHB Research Assistant (RA) will work closely with the other BCCHB laboratory technicians. She/he will report to the BCCHB Research Coordinator and will ultimately be accountable to the BCCHB Director(s).

Work Performed
  • Screening patients for research enrolment
  • Obtain informed consent from patients and/or family members
  • Distribute research surveys to patients and/or family members
  • Enter clinical data and inventory information into the biobank information management system
  • Check OR slates daily for eligible patients
  • Assist in the collection of biospecimens from surgical suites
  • Carries out processing, labelling, and tracking of biospecimens according to BCCHB Standard Operating Procedures
  • Record and document laboratory processes
  • Assist with quality assessment of biospecimens and derivatives
  • Assist in checking, updating and ordering of laboratory inventory/supplies
  • Assist in retrieving and shipping biospecimens according to SOPs

Consequence of Error/Judgement

One of the RA's primary responsibilities is to interact with potential participants. This requires complete transparency and an obligation to follow ethical policies related to recruiting participants for research. Breach of the BCCH BioBank policies and procedures, including misuse or inappropriate disclosure of patient information, may be just cause for the termination of employment.

The RA is expected to exercise good judgment at all times and if in doubt seek advice from those that she/he may report to.

This position is key to the recruitment of participants to the BCCH BioBank. If the project is not managed appropriately, study participates could drop out of the project resulting in a lack of samples and research data and failure of the project. If errors are made in participant data entry, the reports generated will be tainted resulting in wasted time and significant cost to the project.

When interacting with and obtaining consent from patients she/he is the face of the BCCHB and failure to be transparent will significantly affect the reputation of the BCCHB.

Supervision Received

The BCCHB Research Assistant will be supervised directly by the BCCHB Research Coordinator and the BCCHB Lab Manager.

Supervision Given
None but may explain work sequences to others.

Minimum Qualifications
High school graduation and a minimum one year of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

- Willingness to respect diverse perspectives, including perspectives in conflict with one's own

Demonstrates a commitment to enhancing one's own awareness, knowledge, and skills related to equity, diversity, and inclusion

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor Degree in health science or molecular biology/immunology/cell biology, preferred.
