Job Summary

The Healthy Families Laboratory is a research laboratory in the Department of ECPS at UBC. Under the direction of Dr. Lianne Tomfohr-Madsen (Associate Professor), a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Mental Health and Intersectionality, our team aims to identify risk and protective factors associated with the intergenerational transmission of stress.

Due to the sensitive nature of our research, this Research Assistant must understand and adhere to the ethics of confidentiality, sensitivity, and respect when communicating with all research participants.
