1 month ago


Calgary, Canada The University of Calgary Full time

**Description**

**Area**: Health System Structure and Outcomes

**Duration**: Two years with possibility of extension

**Salary**: $50,000 per annum plus benefits (plus $1,500 per annum research allowance)

This Postdoctoral Fellowship will train an emerging leader in health system structure and outcomes. The two key areas of focus are: (1) determining the long-term impact of having a provincial health authority, compared to regional authorities, using quantitative analyses of secondary data obtained from the Canadian Institute for Health Information and other sources, and (2) examining the decision-making processes and short-term impacts of recent changes to health authority structures, using qualitative methods.

Although there is an opportunity to work on both areas of focus, this applicant will be more directly involved with the first quantitative area of focus.

Preference will be given to those who hold advanced (PhD) training in research methodology relevant to the first aim above (health services research, biostatics, health policy). Expertise in qualitative methods will be regarded as an asset.

**Qualifications**:
Successful applicants will have completed their PhD within the last 3 years, or have an MD degree and substantial research expertise in one of the methodological areas highlighted above with a competitive publication list and academic record.

**Application Details**:

- Letter of interest
- Curriculum vitae
- Any relevant publications
- Names and contact information of three references

The terms and conditions of employment are covered under the UCalgary and PDAC Collective Agreement. To find out more about postdoctoral scholar program at the University of Calgary visit our Postdocs website.
