Toronto, Canada Ontario Health Full time

Want to make a difference in your career? Consider this opportunity.

The Occupational Cancer Research Centre (OCRC) was established to fill gaps in our knowledge of work-related cancers and to translate these findings into preventive programs to control exposures and improve the health of workers. It is jointly funded by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development, Ontario Health, and the Ontario Ministry of Health and was developed in collaboration with the United Steelworkers.

OCRC has three major research focus areas: 1) surveillance of occupational cancers and workplace exposures; 2) identification of causes of cancer in the workplace; and 3) exposure research to develop and evaluate prevention and exposure reduction strategies. A strong emphasis is placed on the transfer and exchange of information to support occupational health promotion and the effective use of research findings.

A Research Associate works within one of these three foci, conducting quantitative analyses of large and complex data sets, collecting exposure measurements and their analysis, using research findings to develop scientifically accurate occupational health communications. A Research Associate works independently on one or more projects in their area of focus and prepares polished and completed analyses for a Scientist’s or Director’s final review.

The role works independently and the ability to make decisions on how to set up an analytical framework, a field research strategy, or an occupational health promotion strategy is crucial, as an inability to do so will have major impacts on the ability of the Centre to deliver on its obligations in a timely and correct manner.

Here is what you will be doing:
- Perform advanced quantitative data analysis of large, linked databases using statistical software such as SAS or R- Collect exposure measurements in workplaces and conduct analyses of the measurements- Prepare complete and polished reports for final review by Scientists or the Director- Prepare scientifically accurate summaries and presentations of research findings, in both technical and plain language, for use by workplaces, government policy makers, funders, occupational health practitioners, other research organizations, and the broader prevention community, using a variety of appropriate knowledge transfer and exchange methods- Keep abreast of developments in research and practice in their respective area of focus- Prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals-
- Be a resource for other staff members and students- Interact with external stakeholders

Here is what you will need to be successful:
Education and Experience- A master’s degree in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Occupational or Environmental Hygiene, Exposure Science, Public Health, or a related field is required- At least one year’s experience in advanced quantitative research methodology, field sampling, statistical analysis, health research and/or public health is required- Statistical programming experience, including managing, merging, data cleaning, and analyzing exposure data (descriptive and inference statistics) with software programs (e.g., SAS and R).

Knowledge and Skills- Knowledge of occupational health, hygiene principles, occupational disease, cancer, cardiovascular or respiratory disease and risk factors- Excellent knowledge and/or experience in statistical analysis- Skilled in manipulating and cleaning data using a variety of SAS/R functions, formats, macros, and procedures- Experience conducting descriptive statistics, statistical inference, survival analysis and Cox Proportional Hazards regression- Ability to output, organize and interpret statistical results in reports for diverse audiences including reports for funding agencies and academic publication- Experience with administrative health data such as cancer registry, hospital discharge, out-patient, and related databases- Excellent knowledge of exposure measurement methodologies and instrument calibration- Ability to understand and analyze highly complex research issues- Ability to understand, interpret, and assess scientific papers and other research-related literature- Ability to correctly identify and handle confidential and potentially highly sensitive data to government, workplaces, and other stakeholders- Ability to make decisions on how to set up an analytical framework or an occupational health promotion strategy is crucial, as an inability to do so will have major impacts on the ability of the Centre to deliver on Ontario Health’s contractual obligations in a timely and correct manner- Ability to mentor and train practicum students at the Master’s program level- Ability to work independently in a multi-disciplinary environment- Excellent organizational skills, commitment to generating accurate data and ability to meet short deadlines- Strong written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills for contact with int
