Vancouver, Canada Michael Smith Health Research BC Full time

Michael Smith Health Research BC, funded by the Government of British Columbia, is BC’s health research agency. We strengthen the province’s health research system by supporting the people, institutions and activities that generate and use research-based knowledge to promote, restore and maintain the health of British Columbians. Our ambition is to inspire and connect curious, creative and passionate minds to drive discovery and innovation in health research. And we’re driven by the belief that health-related decision making should be informed by high quality research produced in an equitable, diverse and inclusive research system.

We are a team of dedicated professionals who care deeply about each other and our work. We believe in embracing diversity as a strength and core value, creating spaces that are inclusive of all peoples, and are grounded in our ongoing commitment to reconciliation and respect for Indigenous self-determination. We value and support a diverse workforce, reflective of different backgrounds, skillsets, perspectives and life experiences.

Our benefits package includes a pension plan, generous dental and health insurance and a wellness allowance; our professional development policy supports learning and growth.

We have a hybrid work model. When you are in the office, our beautiful space offers views of False Creek, an outdoor patio (think summer BBQs) and a fitness centre, and it’s walking distance to restaurants and other amenities. Our social committee, Team Good Times, organizes events throughout the year.

If you are looking for meaningful work in a supportive environment, and you are inspired by making a difference in BC’s exceptional health research community, read on to learn more.

Subsequent and ongoing work involves planning and implementation for a broad range of projects within the science program, from provincial priority research initiatives to internal research studies.

- Collaborates with colleagues across Health Research BC to ensure synergies with other internal programs, the organizational strategy and the evaluation plan.
- Supports the CSO as Chair of the Health Research Council of BC, organizing meetings, developing meeting agendas and taking high level notes, maintaining the web page, and coordinating initiatives of that group including working with consultants where appropriate.
- Develops and manages science program budgets.
- Negotiates, prepares and manages agreements, contracts and associated reporting requirements with external agencies.
- Supports the CSO in identifying areas of risk; develops mitigation plans.
- Builds relationships with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders important to the success of the science program.
- Prepares reports, briefing notes and papers for publication.
- Presents the work of Health Research BC’s science program externally as appropriate.
- Works with the communications team to ensure science program progress, news and impacts reach a variety of external audiences in the context of Health Research BC’s outreach.
