Description

Circuit Stream is a leader in future technology skills training and learning content. We offer world-class educational services for teen and adult learners with a focus on the skills needed to leverage immersive and emerging technology.

We are seeking passionate instructors with experience in healthcare, medical research, or health technology to lead our Health Technology Innovation course for students ages 13-18. This course introduces learners to human physiology, data, and technology, exploring how modern tools such as wearable devices, imaging systems, and software platforms are transforming healthcare.

Students will engage in hands-on experiments measuring physiological, motor, brain imaging and cognitive functions, while learning to analyze and interpret data using tools such as Python, MATLAB, and imaging software with graphical user interfaces (GUI). The program culminates in a mini research project where students collect, analyze, and present scientific data as numerical outputs. The ideal instructor brings a strong background in health-tech, biomedical engineering or clinical/research environments, combined with the ability to guide students through applied, project-based learning experiences.

This program will be offered on July 6 - July 17, 2026 and July 20 - July 31, 2026 at UBC campus. Candidates must be available to teach daytime sessions (Mon-Fri 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM local time).
