In addition to building on the BCCSU's seminal work by cultivating a robust body of evidence in this area, the BCCSU is committed to translating leading edge research into improved substance use care across BC. To this end, the BCCSU develops evidence-based training curricula, program standards, and practice guidelines while networking regional health authorities, researchers, educators, and care providers and other allied care professionals across the province to ensure that research and innovation efficiently reach the communities they are intended to serve.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Liaising with, and coordinating and leading professional meetings among, community organizations, researchers, and other stakeholders;
  • Supporting, developing, and evaluating strategies that encourage community, researcher, and other stakeholder participation in research activities;
  • Assisting with teaching and mentoring of students and graduate trainees, where opportunities arise;
  • Keeping current with developments in the area of substance use research;
  • Conforming with ethical standards in research; and
