Job Summary

Development and implementation of methods to maximize the scientific value of the equipment investment, as aligned against the proposal, including working with researchers to develop effective technical and research workflows. Developing and supporting a business plan for longer term viability of the facility.

Together with others in the project, the Research Project Manager will be responsible for training staff, including assistants (undergraduate and graduate students and technicians) on the equipment for use in selected projects.

The Research Project Manager will be involved in developing documentation for future research infrastructure and resources in collaboration with Dr. Britton and the other investigators.

From time to time, the Research Project Manager will be required to perform other related duties as needed.

They are required to conduct all activities in an ethical manner, suited to proper activities of the University of BC, the granting agencies, and to the professional organizations governing the Research Project Manager and those governing the activities of all other investigators.
