**Research Assistant, Community Health and Epidemiology**:
**CPAC/HPV Immunization Project**:In early 2020, the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC) called on health care providers and communities across Canada to eliminate cervical cancer in Canada by 2040. The UPHN was commissioned to lead the first priority of the plan: to improve HPV immunization rates. The first phase of this work involved understanding: a) What the coverage rates are for HPV across Canada, and; b) What the barriers are for families receiving the HPV vaccinations, across Canada. The second phase of this project will drive movement towards achieving system-level outcomes to increase HPV immunization in school-based and youth-focused programs and reaching Canada’s HPV immunization target. This involves co-developing, implementing and evaluating innovative education and program delivery strategies for HPV immunization in a variety of jurisdictions.

**Nature of Work**: This project falls under the work of the Urban Public Health Network Research Group. The UPHN is a network of Medical Officers of Health who oversee public health in Canada’s leading urban centres. Representing 23 cities across the country, the network’s members are responsible for overseeing the population health of more than half of Canadians. This work is collaborative in nature and will include working closely alongside the UPHN project team, under the supervision of UPHN President and Associate Professor in Community Health and Epidemiology, Dr. Cory Neudorf and Project Lead, Mika Rathwell, and in partnership with the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer and several regional public health organizations across Canada.

- Assist in the development of scientific grant proposals
- Other duties as assigned

Graduate-level training in a related field or an equivalent combination of education and experience coordinating research in clinical and/or non-clinical settings is preferred. Familiarity with community-based research, survey research and/or epidemiological research is preferred. This position will involve ensuring that deliverables and outcomes are achieved on many simultaneous national-level sub-projects. Project planning and management, writing skills, and attention to detail are important in this role.
