Job description

The Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute is currently seeking one (1) casual Research Analyst to be part of the Addictions Division at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). In this position, you will support applied research with a focus on impulsivity in mood and addictive disorders. As part of the team, you will support original clinical research projects as well as ongoing knowledge translation and exchange activities.

As part of a larger scientific team, you will provide support on an as-required basis for all aspects of these projects, including:

1. Recruitment of research participants
2. Scheduling and coordinating participant appointments
3. Obtaining informed consent
4. Administering clinical and cognitive measures
5. Tracking data collection and database maintenance
6. Administering participant honoraria

Successful candidates will also support study administration, including programming online surveys and computer-based testing, reporting to research ethics, quality assurance, and research finance and contracts. Online survey and testing platforms include RedCap, Inquisit, and EPrime.

The successful candidates must have a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, health science, or a similar relevant field combined with at least one (1) year of clinical or research experience with individuals or families with mental health and/or addiction issues. Experience working or volunteering in an academic laboratory setting is required.

Proven ability to effectively explain research studies, including ethical issues and issues of confidentiality, is necessary. Proficiency in PC software skills, including Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook), Internet search engines (e.g. PsychInfo, Medline), survey and testing software (e.g. RedCap; Qualtrics; Inquisit; Eprime), and statistical software (e.g. SPSS, R), as well as the ability to learn new programs as necessary, are required.

Experience in the administration of psychodiagnostic and cognitive assessment measures is required. Experience in computer-based and online methods of data collection and/or knowledge dissemination would be advantageous. Demonstrated interpersonal skills are required, as is the ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues and diverse stakeholders.

Highly proficient communication skills (both oral and written) are required, as is the ability to explain complex issues in plain language. Experience in the presentation of research results (e.g., oral or poster presentations) is required. Experience in supporting other forms of knowledge dissemination or translation activities would be an asset.

The candidate will be detail-oriented, well organized, with the ability to multi-task, produce high-quality work, meet deadlines, and work independently with minimal supervision. Flexibility is required with respect to work assigned and variable hours of work. Candidates will possess the ability for self-directed learning/working, as well as collaboration and teamwork.

CAMH is a Tobacco-Free Organization. CAMH is fully affiliated with the University of Toronto and is a teaching hospital and research institute. As a CAMH employee, you will be expected to actively support CAMH’s teaching and research activities, in addition to supporting the clinical work of the hospital.
