Position Summary

We are seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) to support the development and implementation of an ambitious Lower Limb Preservation (LLP), prosthetics and amputee research program and to launch post-acute care geriatrics research and education. This is a dual-position role at the UHN-West Park site.

This includes supporting efforts to enhance access to rehabilitation and advance models of care through a potential post-acute lens.

This role is highly collaborative and will work across interdisciplinary teams including clinicians, researchers, program leaders, and rehabilitation specialists, and external partners across UHN, KITE, TIER, and the University of Toronto, supporting the development of integrated and research-informed models of care.
