Funded by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation<\/em>, SIM Social Work Research Lab aims to strengthen, innovate, and mobilize simulation-based research on social work education and practice. This is the first and only social work-specific, simulation-based research lab in North America. We engage in two types of research: (1) research on simulation-based teaching and learning (e.g., the use of trained actors, virtual simulated clients) in professional education, and (2) research that uses simulation as a novel methodology to conceptualize and research professional practice (e.g., competence-based skills, linking theory to practice, the use of self). The co-directors of the SIM lab (https:\/\/carleton.ca\/simlab\/simlab\/<\/a>) in the School of Social Work at Carleton University invite applications from qualified candidates for a postdoctoral fellowship for up to 24 months, beginning as early as summer 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fellowship will be supervised by Professor Sarah Todd, an established scholar on professional education and a 3M National Teaching Fellow<\/em>.  The successful candidate will also work closely with Professor Kenta Asakura (PI of the SIM Lab), whose research focuses on clinical social work practice and education, and other faculty members of the School of Social Work to further the team\u2019s original research into simulation and professional practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fellow is expected to conduct their own original research on professional practice and education, engage in existing research projects in the lab, and produce quality peer-reviewed publications. The fellow is also expected to teach one single-term (0.5) course per year in the School of Social Work. The fellow will develop specialized knowledge-base and skills required for simulation-based research, linkages between the lab and community partners, leveraging existing capacities to identify new research opportunities.  There will also be opportunities for the fellow to provide mentorship to graduate students engaged in SIM lab research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements<\/strong> <\/em>
\nThe successful candidate will have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. A PhD (or equivalent) completed, prior to the start of the fellowship and in the past five years in Social Work, Psychology, Education, or any other field relevant to the fellowship<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. A research and publication track-record relevant to the research focus on the fellowship, as appropriate for an early stage of career.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The ability to teach effectively and work with graduate students<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Award duration<\/strong><\/em>
    \n24 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Start date<\/strong><\/em>

    Relocation expenses<\/strong> <\/em>
    \nEligible moving expenses of up to C$1500<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Research Funding<\/strong> <\/em>
    \nThe Fellow will have access to a research fund of C$5,000 in each of the two 12-month periods in which the Fellowship is held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Teaching requirements<\/strong><\/em>
    \nThe Fellow will teach one single-term (0.5 credit) course per academic year in the School of Social Work, specifics to be negotiated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Application Deadline<\/strong> <\/em>
    \nApril 6, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The application should include: 1) a cover letter, with a focus on the candidate\u2019s interest in the fellowship and a statement of their research intent in simulation-based research during this fellowship, 2) CV; 3) evidence of teaching experience and excellence, and 4) names and contact information for three referees.  Please submit applications electronically to Sarah Todd, professor and director, School of Social Work, sarah.todd@carleton.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
