Feb 2, 2026

At UBC, we believe that attracting and sustaining a diverse workforce is key to the successful pursuit of excellence in research, innovation, and learning for all faculty, staff and students. Our commitment to employment equity helps achieve inclusion and fairness, brings rich diversity to UBC as a workplace, and creates the necessary conditions for a rewarding career.

Organizational Status

The vision of the UBC Department of Emergency Medicine is to be a provincially integrated Department committed to clinical and academic leadership in the creation and exchange of knowledge to promote excellence in emergency care. Our 600+ faculty members across the province have had an impressive record of research and discovery. Our research and innovation initiatives include 14 successful programs related to prevention of emergencies, improving clinical care, and system improvements.

The Digital Emergency Medicine research program, led by Dr. Kendall Ho, conducts research on the use of digital technologies to improve healthcare delivery and raising digital health literacy. Digital Emergency Medicine carries out research, community engagement, and educational activities to explore how modern information and communication technologies (e.g. mobile and web-based applications, etc.) can improve health care.

This positions report to the Research Coordinator and may take direction from others on a project basis. The incumbent interacts with research team members, faculty, project managers, and other personnel associated with specific projects. The incumbent may interact with community organizations, health professionals, clinical groups, patients and community members, government representatives, and other stakeholder groups.

Work Performed

  • Assists in planning research project activities including organizing and documenting meetings, and communicating with diverse project partners.

  • Conducts literature searches, as well as reviews and assists with the synthesis of literature.

  • Assists with ethics-related activities by supporting the preparation and drafting of ethics applications, consent forms, recruitment materials, and other associated documentation under supervision.

  • Assists with participant recruitment and data collection by co-facilitating focus groups, conducting interviews and administering surveys

  • Assists in data preparation, collection, entry, and analysis

  • Supports the preparation of reports, publications, and presentations.

  • Assists in the development of funding proposals

  • Assists with investigation of applicable funding opportunities

Consequence of Error/Judgement

The direction of the research initiatives will be discussed at regular meetings with research team members. Regular reporting will also be required to stakeholder groups as defined by each specific component of the research projects. This position requires working effectively within an organizational structure as well as some degree of self-direction. The Research Assistant will be required to show judgment and decision making which has the potential to impact the reputation of Digital Emergency Medicine's product viability, and the opportunity for future research development. The exercise of poor judgment and lack of consultation with supervisors could adversely affect the viability and validity of research projects or programs. Continued adverse effects to the Office's research projects could negatively affect the ability of Digital Emergency Medicine to obtain funding for future research projects.
