Key Activities

Our team at UBC’s Nutritional Epidemiology and Big Data Analytics Laboratory (NEBA) has immediate openings for Masters and PhD students (with some potential opportunities for postdoctoral fellows) to work on a CIHR-funded research project. Our team provides high-quality and relevant research evidence on health status and determinants as it relates to lifestyle factors or health policies. The information is designed for a broad range of stakeholders including policy makers, researchers, educators, and the general public.

The overall goal of this study is estimating and predicting the burden of cardiovascular disease and healthcare use (bed days and costs) among Canadians, using lifestyle factors as major determinants (and under different scenario models).

• Develop and conduct research and modeling studies and write / edit analytical material for publication purposes.
