Job Description Summary
Laboratory technicians will analyze blood samples for the National Drug Driving Study, a Transport Canada / Public Safety Canada funded study investigating the prevalence of drug use in injured drivers and passengers who are treated in hospital after a motor vehicle collision. The incumbents will follow study procedures to prepare whole blood samples for toxicology analysis. They will then analyze samples using gas chromatography flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) samples and report results.
The incumbents will follow testing protocol and procedures developed by our laboratory consultant. Technical questions related to the laboratory analysis will be answered by the laboratory consultant. They will be directly supervised by the National Drug Driving Study Project Manager and report to project Principal Investigator (PI). The incumbents will be responsible for learning and adhering to all study procedures. They are required to protect study participants’ privacy and confidentiality and behave professionally in their interactions with other team members. They will be part of a larger team of Road Safety and Public Health researchers and may be asked to participate in other ongoing studies or to perform literature reviews.
Organizational Status
This study is managed through the UBC Department of Emergency Medicine Research at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH). The National Drug Driving Study obtains “left over” whole blood samples from injured drivers or passengers and analyzes them for alcohol, cannabinoids and a panel of other impairing substances including CNS stimulants and CNS depressants. The study also collects routine demographic and clinical information. The study has obtained funding from CIHR, Health Canada, Transport Canada and several provincial governments. Public Safety Canada funding will support the study beginning in spring 2023. Road Safety Research is one of the key strategic initiatives of the UBC Department of Emergency Medicine.
Work Performed
Consequence of Error/Judgement
The incumbent should be able to conduct all research activities in an ethical manner suited to the proper activities of VGH and UBC as well as to the professional organizations governing themselves and those governing the activities of the Divisional Research Director and other investigators. The Research Assistant is expected to use excellent judgement to inform the PI, Research Associate, Project Manager and laboratory consultant of any unforeseen or abnormal outcomes, which could impact the study. Data collected and recorded as part of a clinical study must be detailed and accurately reflect the work performed. Medical records and proprietary information are highly confidential and must be handled with the utmost discretion. Records are released only under strict supervision of PI. An error or incorrect decision when conducting a research project may result in a protocol violation, causing inappropriate data and skewed study results. This may have financial implications such as loss of funding. Inappropriate release of confidential information on study participants may have adverse legal implications.
Supervision Received
The incumbent will receive training and supervision from the Laboratory Consultant and Project Manager and will perform assigned task independently after initial training.
Supervision Given
The incumbent may be asked to train new co-op students or laboratory technicians.
Minimum Qualifications
High school graduation, some additional training in a related field and a minimum two years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
– Willingness to respect diverse perspectives, including perspectives in conflict with one’s own
