McGill Biomedical Ethics Unit / Studies of Translation, Ethics, and Medicine (STREAM) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral research fellow (PDF) with a background in the decision sciences, psychology, clinical trials, or ethics. The project will examine how well researchers and others can forecast risks, benefits, and feasibility of clinical trials. The PDF will work under the supervision of Jonathan Kimmelman, alongside several co-investigators (David Mandel, Ian Shrier, Alex London, Jamie Brehaut, Dean Fergusson, and Russell Steele). Responsibilities will include collecting elicitations, designing and implementing components of the project, conducting interviews, analysis, and evaluating policy and ethical dimensions. The PDF is encouraged to develop his or her own research within the scope of the project, and to publish both team and independently authored manuscripts. We anticipate a starting date of Summer 2015, depending on availability. The successful candidate should have recently been awarded their PhD (within 5 years*) in a relevant area. Candidates with a background in the decision sciences, psychology, or epidemiology are particularly encouraged to apply. The term of hiring is one year, renewable for up to one additional year. |
