Dr. @colleenmflood.bsky.social, Dean of Law, Queen’s University addresses the legal, ethical, clinical and privacy risks associated with AI transparency. Patients' trust in physicians to keep their info safe, and therefore will be trusting of a clinical AI tool which may not deserve patient trust.

It was a terrific conversation, and beginning to identify much and more the work that needs to be done. My take is that universities must communicate, communicate and communicate why research and higher education improves lives.

Bridge Research Consortium @bridgerc.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

We're hiring for two positions! The Training Specialist will have the opportunity to lead the development of outputs, products, activities, and events to advance public trust and equitable access to new vaccines and immune-based innovations related to pandemic preparedness and response.

Full-time, 37 hours per week
$60,000 to $75,000 CAD per year plus benefits
Simon Fraser University Burnaby Campus (hybrid negotiable)

The Training Specialist will lead the planning, implementation, and evaluation of training and pedagogical activities and the development of tools and resources to build knowledge mobilization, science, communication, professional development, and equity capacity within the Bridge Research Consortium (BRC), CIEBH and other hubs. This role will work under the direction of the KMb Lead.

ABOUT THE BRIDGE RESEARCH CONSORTIUM
The BRC is one of four projects funded by the Government of Canada, as part of Canada’s Immuno-Engineering and Biomanufacturing Hub (CIEBH) led by the University of British Columbia. It is also one of 19 projects funded in 2024, under Canada’s Biomanufacturing and Life Sciences Strategy, “to rebuild a strong and resilient domestic biomanufacturing and life sciences sector” ahead of a future pandemic event.

While Canada is poised to achieve exciting and important scientific breakthroughs, the COVID-19 pandemic showed that support for the optimal uptake of new vaccines and therapies is also needed. The decline of vaccine uptake within some populations over the past decade risks the return of vaccine preventable diseases and undermines the capacity for Canada to respond effectively to a future pandemic.

In this context, the BRC has been funded as a unique collaboration of leading social sciences and humanities scholars across Canada. The Consortium brings together expertise in anthropology, bioethics, communications, history, international rel ations, law, political science, public administration, sociology and other disciplines, with public health, clinical medicine, and nursing.

The project brings together wide-ranging perspectives to better understand and support public trust and equitable access to new vaccines and immune-based innovations that strengthen Canada’s readiness for future health emergencies.

QUALIFICATIONS
• Master’s degree in Education, Social Sciences, Life/Biological Sciences, Health Sciences or a related field and two years of related experience in teaching, community engagement, science communication, and knowledge mobilization or an equivalent combination of education, training and experience

How to apply
Interested candidates should submit an application by e-mail to: rackeb_tesfaye@sfu.ca by 5 pm on 1 February 2025. Please include “Pedagogy and Training Specialist – [Your Name]” in the subject line.

Your application should include the following:

• Cover letter:
· explain why you are suited for this position
· describe your relevant disciplinary and subject matter expertise
· explain your relevant experience and skills that would advance the project goals
· provide names and contact information for two references (to be contacted by BRC for short-listed candidates only)
· propose a tentative date for when you could begin the role
• Curriculum vitae
