Azrieli CHILD-BRIGHT Fellowship Program: Call for applicants!

Five new positions available!

CHILD-BRIGHT has launched a new call for postdoctoral researchers to work with our network in support of children with brain-based developmental disabilities!

Fellowships with the CHILD-BRIGHT Network represent a valuable opportunity to learn and apply patient-oriented research approaches to child health, with a focus on knowledge mobilization; implementation science; and equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, and Indigenization. Here is what one current postdoctoral fellow had to say about the program:

“Not only have my knowledge and skills in implementation research and patient- oriented research improved, but this support has allowed me to develop a true passion for this field of research. I hope to use these to improve the developmental care of children in Canada in my future career as a researcher.”

— Marie-Ève Bolduc, Postdoctoral Fellow, Care Pathways for CHD project

Thanks to the Azrieli Foundation’s generous and continued support in helping train the next generation of patient-oriented researchers and implementation scientists, we are looking to fill positions with the following teams:

CHILD-BRIGHT VR-EF: A hybrid Type 2 implementation validation trial of a virtual reality executive function intervention (Supervising PI: Jennifer Crosbie, SickKids)

Prenatal Opioid Exposure and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (POE-NAS): Addressing Prenatal Opioid Exposure in First Nations Communities (Supervising PI: Astrid Guttmann, ICES)
