The Research Coordinator position is responsible for managing and implementing the grant-funded BC Office of the Provincial Health Officer (OPHO) Indigenous Rights, Reconciliation, & Anti-Racism 360° COVID-19 Review. The role involves a range of leadership responsibilities regarding project planning and oversight, budget monitoring, building and maintaining relationships with partners, and policy review.
The 360° COVID-19 Review focuses on daylighting systemic white supremacy and Indigenous-specific racism in the BC OPHO and its sphere of influence during COVID-19 pandemic responses. Over one year, we will aim to: (1) Illuminate which the BC OPHO structures, policies, practices, norms, and values upheld systemic white supremacy and racism during the COVID-19 state of emergency. (2) Catalogue the colonial knots that arose within the BC OPHO’s sphere of influence during the COVID-19 state of emergency; and (3) Share findings with public health leadership towards development and implementation of anti-racist pandemic response strategies for future public health threats.
The Research Coordinator will work under the co-supervision of Dr. Kate Jongbloed, PhD and Dr. Danièle Behn Smith, MD, CCFP, MPH and will work closely with Jorden Hendry, MPH and the OPHO team.
