Janis Rotman Fellow in Home Care Innovation

The Rotman fellow must conduct focused clinical- or policy-relevant research related to home and/or community care for complex paediatric patients.  Fellows will be guaranteed funding for a one year term, which will be potentially renewable for a second year.  Fellows will be expected to apply for external salary support awards.  Ideal candidates would be health professionals (e.g. nurse, physician, therapist, social worker) with post graduate training in research.  If the candidate wishes, some time (up to 20%) can be devoted to clinical care, but the focus of the fellowship will be on research.  Fellows will be responsible for acquiring a mentor within the Division of Paediatric Medicine in addition to any mentors they may have from the broader network of clinicians and academics in the multi-disciplinary team, the University of Toronto or elsewhere.  Salary will be based on a scale similar to CIHR clinical fellowship funding with modest discretionary funds for travel and research expenses.  Applications must be submitted to Daffodil Morrison at daffodil.morrison@sickkids.ca by January 6th 2012 and include: statement of intent defining research plans for the year, relevance to ‘innovations in homecare’ and how this fellowship fits into your ongoing career, 3 letters of reference including at least 1 from a research mentor, and an updated CV.
