Job Title: Postdoctoral Research Fellow

At the University of British Columbia (UBC), we are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team in the Department of Emergency Medicine. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge research project focused on real-world drug safety and surveillance using new adverse drug event data generated by a technological intervention designed to improve clinical communication of patients' adverse drug events.

Responsibilities:
  1. Lead the development of drug safety studies and the development of a drug safety surveillance research program, including developing and selecting study protocols for a sentinel surveillance system and applying relevant pharmacoepidemiology theories, frameworks, processes, and measures.
  2. Direct, supervise, and coordinate data collection, linkage, and analysis, including executing the research and surveillance plan.
  3. Design mechanisms to quantify system- and provider-level factors associated with variation in ADE reporting.
  4. Identify significant issues, barriers, or challenges that emerge in the post-marketing drug surveillance plan and develop mitigation strategies or resolutions.
  5. Design studies in drug safety and effectiveness of treatments used to treat opioid poisoning and opioid use disorder using high-quality clinical datasets.
  6. Maintain study documentation, including tracking and monitoring changes (adaptations) to the post-marketing drug surveillance strategies throughout the implementation process.
  7. Complete data analysis to quantify and compare safety risks and effectiveness between drugs.
  8. Participate in and provide research updates at regular meetings with other researchers and research assistants.
  9. Review other study protocols as assigned, and discuss logistics with Research Investigators and the Research Program Manager. Ensure documentation is consistently maintained as directed by the study protocol.
  10. Develop progress reports and updates for stakeholders and partners (as per the communication plan).
  11. Develop briefing notes and presentations for stakeholders, including Public Health, government, and a health improvement network.
  12. Complete other protocol-specific documentation as needed.
  13. Act as a mentor and resource to Masters and PhD students.
  14. Act as a resource to various research team members to identify real or potential problems and work to resolve these issues.
  15. Contribute to and/or lead abstract, manuscript writing, presentations for submission to selected journals/conferences and grant proposals.
Qualifications:
  1. PhD in a relevant discipline required.
  2. Relevant research experience in epidemiology; pharmacoepidemiology using qualitative or mixed methods; sociology and/or anthropology of medicine; health informatics; applied science, technology, and society perspectives.
  3. Ability and experience in the area of pharmacoepidemiology and clinical research coordination.
  4. Experience collecting and analyzing quantitative (mixed methods) data.
  5. Ability to balance multiple commitments, short deadlines, and sensitive clinical or research issues.
  6. Excellent communication skills, including strong writing, research, and interpersonal skills.
  7. Innovative and creative thinking and a logical approach to problem solving are also necessary.
  8. Self-directed, self-motivated, and independent work skills.
  9. Ability to work as part of a team.
  10. Preference will be given to applicants with intermediate or advanced computer skills in the following software packages: MS Office (particularly Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and NVivo (qualitative data software package).
  11. Experience with information technology in the health sector is considered an asset.
  12. Familiarity with the field of drug safety, adverse drug event reporting, pharmacy practice, health technology implementations, health system research, or other potential research partners is an asset.
  13. Familiarity and experience with grant-funded projects and study protocol requirements, including ethical conduct, ethics approval process, standard operating procedures, source documentation, and good clinical practice, is an asset.
