Contract

Overview

The Postdoctoral Fellow in Knowledge Mobilization & Implementation will be responsible for advancing the science of implementation at the EPID@Work Research Institute. Unlike a traditional communications role, this position focuses on designing and evaluating how evidence is best adopted in workplaces. The successful candidate will develop and evaluate an "Audio Toolbox Talks" on OHS for small businesses in Northwestern Ontario. Small businesses face unique OHS challenges, including limited resources, time constraints, and difficulty accessing traditional training formats. Evidence demonstrates that small enterprises experience recurring implementation barriers. Audio-based learning formats offer accessible, mobile-compatible solutions for time-constrained small business owners and workers. This project aims to develop evidence-based audio safety briefs addressing NOWWHS psychosocial factors.
Under the leadership of Dr. Vicki Kristman, the successful candidate will apply implementation science frameworks (specifically Knowledge-to-Action [KTA] and RE-AIM) to design, create, and test knowledge mobilization products (e.g., tools, training) that bridge the gap between OHS research and practice.

Term & Renewal:

The initial term of this position will be until March 31, 2027. It is renewable for up to two additional years, but renewal will occur on an annual basis, subject to funding availability and performance.

Research Environment:

Members of the Institute conduct research in three main research areas: mental health in the workplace; equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (IDEA); and knowledge mobilization. This is an excellent opportunity for new PhD graduates in Knowledge Translation, Implementation Science, Health Services Research, or Organizational Psychology to apply their training and build an independent program of research.
The research fellow will benefit from an active, well-funded interdisciplinary research environment with multiple opportunities for publication. The stipend is highly competitive and commensurate with experience. Opportunities for the fellow to apply for independent funding will be available and encouraged.

Responsibilities

Lead the design and creation of KMI products (e.g., digital tools, training modules, toolkits) based on research evidence and evaluate their implementation in real-world settings.
Apply theoretical frameworks (e.g., RE-AIM) to identify barriers and facilitators to the adoption of OHS evidence in Northwestern Ontario workplaces.
Provide guidance on KMI best practices to research staff and students, fostering a culture of "integrated knowledge mobilization" (iKT).
Design and execute research studies that test the effectiveness of different knowledge mobilization strategies (e.g., comparing digital tools vs. workshop-based dissemination).
Write and publish manuscripts in high-impact peer-reviewed journals on the topic of implementation science and KMI outcomes.
Present research findings at academic conferences and stakeholder meetings to influence policy and practice.

Qualifications

Passionate about Occupational Health and Safety.
A Ph.D. degree in Knowledge Translation, Implementation Science, Organizational Psychology, Health Services Research, or a related field.
Demonstrated experience in designing KMI tools/strategies and evaluating their impact using qualitative or quantitative research methods. Familiarity with integrated Knowledge Translation (iKT) approaches is essential.
Strong understanding of implementation frameworks (specifically RE-AIM and KTA).
Evidence of manuscript preparation and publication, with a focus on applied research or KMI.
Excellent scientific writing and oral communication skills; results-oriented work ethic; ability to work independently and collaboratively.
Experience working with community stakeholders or in occupational health settings.

Lakehead University is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment and welcomes applications from all qualified individuals including women, racialized persons, Indigenous people, persons with disabilities, and other equity-seeking groups. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. This is in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements.

Lakehead University has a goal to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as measured by increasing representation of underrepresented groups among applicants, candidates, and hires. Experience working with Indigenous or racialized communities, and/or members of other equity-deserving groups, is a strong asset. A lived experience or worked experience of any of these issues is preferred.

We appreciate your interest; Lakehead University is committed to supporting an accessible environment. Applicants requiring accommodation during the interview process should contact the Office of Human Resources at (807) 343-8010 ext. 8334 or [email protected] to make appropriate arrangements.
