Recruitment for TBRHSC Research Ethics Board (November 25)

TBRHSC is currently recruiting volunteers to serve on the Research Ethics Board (REB).  We are looking for three new alternate research board members:

  1. One member who is knowledgeable in relevant laws and willing to review proposed research projects to identify legal issues related to research protocols and their implications, especially those related to health and privacy law;
  2. One member knowledgeable in relevant research disciplines, fields and methodologies in areas of research covered by the TBRHSC REB;
  3. One Indigenous community member not affiliated with Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre and able to provide input regarding your knowledge about the Indigenous community of Thunder Bay and discuss issues and research from this perspective.

Although the alternate member is welcome to attend all REB meetings and may be asked to participate as a primary reviewer on specific studies, their primary responsibility is to provide coverage when the regular REB member is not available to perform reviews or attend meetings.

If you are interested in more information about this opportunity, please email your cover letter and resume to Carol Pelletier, Research Ethics Officer at TBRHSC.REO@tbh.net by November 25, 2022. Please indicate which position you are applying for in your email.

Selected applicants will be contacted for an interview, with the final decision being made by the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre Board of Directors Chair.

Please see memo linked below for more details.
