Edmonton, Alberta, Canada University of Alberta Careers Full time $40,000 - $60,000 per year

This competition is restricted to internal applicants of the University of Alberta. Please log in to verify your internal candidate status. 

This position is a part of the Non-Academic Staff Association (NASA).

This position has an end date of April 30, 2026.

Location - This role is in-person at North Campus Edmonton.

The Epidemiological Methods for Equity Research to Generate Evidence (EMERGE) in the School of Public Health utilizes social epidemiological methods to study social equity, population health, and health inequities. We identify social determinants at the individual and area-level and study their relationship with health outcomes, such as mental health conditions (e.g., depression and anxiety), chronic illness, and mortality. With funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research (SSHRC) we study social inequities such as income inequality, maldistributions
of power, and inequitable access to social goods and programs on population health and health equity. Findings from EMERGE projects provide new knowledge on identifying who is most likely to be at greatest risk for exposure to social inequities and thus more likely to be experience morbidity and mortality. Dr. Roman Pabayo is lead investigator of EMERGE.

The Research Assistant will support the project coordination and research activities of CIHR and SSHRC funded projects conducted by EMERGE. Primary duties include: coordinating and completing qualitative primary data collection from participants for the electoral systems funding project; conducting sophisticated quantitative analyses using data at the Statistics Canada Research Data Centre at the University of Alberta; and working collaboratively with the EMERGE team, research team, and partners, such as the Centre for Healthy Communities (CHC).

The Research Assistant will work closely with the EMERGE principal investigator, postdoctoral fellows, CHC staff, and trainees, and be part of a broader team working on this project. The successful candidate requires a robust understanding of social determinants of health, knowledge of Canada's electoral system, strong data analytical skills (primarily quantitative including but not limited to survival analysis and multilevel modelling), demonstratable communication skills, ability to identify and synthesize relevant evidence, capacity to write for different practitioner audiences, and the ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team. The successful candidate will contribute to a positive, appreciative work environment.
