Position Summary
To identify how career motivation shapes training pathways in biomedical science and medical education we will perform a formal analysis of three existing frameworks related to student motivation. Our goal is to explore how career motivation influences later stages of biomedical and medical higher education. The Research Specialist will support conduct and management of research development activities primarily focused on co-developing a protocol for systematic review; analyzing search results; manuscript writing and figure design. This project will summarize outcomes to present results of the systematic review and build a bank of previously published assessment questions to support future studies. The researcher will be trained by a librarian to lead data collection to support the analysis of manuscripts selected for systematic review. The Research Specialist will help to identify and refine search criteria and code the database search results using rigorous research methods. This includes developing and revising protocols based on Expectancy Value Theory Self-Determination Theory and Rightful Presence frameworks.
