Graduate Student Opportunity
Human Factors in Healthcare Systems Modelling
Human Factors Engineering (HFE) Lab
Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
The Human Factors Engineering Lab in the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) has openings for graduate students at the PhD level. The CIHR (Canadian Institutes of Health Research) funded R&D program aims at integrating critical human factors aspects into computer-based system models of front-line healthcare delivery processes. The CIHR project focuses on critical frontline workers in continuing complex care settings, specifically nurses, personal support workers at an internationally recognised medical teaching institution. The student will be creating the next generation in operations analysis tools that consider both employee wellbeing and system performance in the design of healthcare systems. The HFE lab at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) is recognised globally for its scientific leadership and students in the Human Factors Engineering Lab have received international ‘best paper’ awards on a regular basis.
Ideal candidates will have completed a master’s degree in Engineering, Human Factors / Ergonomics, or another relevant applied science program. You will have both technical and people skills and are interested in applying your skills towards supporting the design of healthcare services that fit optimally with human capabilities and limitations. Excellent written and verbal communications skills are an asset. Experience working with simulation models in interdisciplinary environments is also beneficial. You will learn to use state of the art modelling approaches to develop evidence-based decision support and system design tools to help design & improve Canadian healthcare systems.
For general information on graduate studies at Toronto Metropolitan University and application procedures please visit www.ryerson.ca/graduate. Any applicant must be deemed admissible by the TMU School of Graduate Studies before they can be considered for this project.
The HFE lab pursues equity and diversity in membership and aims to provide a supportive learning environment for all irrespective of their backgrounds and orientations. The HFE lab welcomes applications from women, Indigenous peoples, members of visible minorities and racialized groups, persons with disabilities, and/or persons of any sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.
