We are seeking a full-time, contract (1 year) Research Analyst who will provide support to the Slaight Family Centre’s research team, including a study of a text messaging intervention to support young people in the transition from acute to outpatient mental health services, recruiting participants from the Emergency Department, Bridging Clinic, and inpatient units. Reporting to the Slaight Family Centre Research Operations Manager, you will assist in coordinating recruitment for multiple studies and participate in projects as assigned. Research activities can include: supporting centralized recruitment, scheduling and assisting with participant interviews, research participant screening and eligibility assessments, extracting information from electronic health records, data entry and database maintenance.
