As Research Manager at the Medically Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC), you'll lead and develop research that strengthens our understanding of harm reduction, injecting drug use and drug consumption rooms, and, importantly, helps translate evidence into practice.

But just as importantly, you'll understand the value of research that can genuinely influence practice and strengthen an important service.

You'll be joining a team that cares deeply about the work they do and contributing your expertise to research that can help shape the future of harm reduction and public health.
