Research Analyst - Institute for Mental Health Policy Research
About The Position
CAMH is seeking a full-time, 1-year contract Research Analyst (RA) to support multiple projects within the Institute of Mental Health Policy Research (IMHPR), primarily focusing on two cannabis-related studies. The RA will assist in adapting a web-based intervention for cannabis use, involving gathering feedback from a Community Advisory Board (CAB), participant recruitment, and piloting the adapted intervention. This includes evaluating feasibility aspects like recruitment, retention, fidelity, and acceptability, and exploring changes in cannabis use, mental health, and quality of life. The RA will manage day-to-day study operations, including regulatory activities, recruitment, study communications, developing study documents, building REDCap questionnaires, maintaining logs, coordinating with participants and team members, and contributing to data analysis and reporting. Additionally, the RA will support a clinical Non-Therapeutic Research on Cannabis (NTRC) study, a randomized, double-blind human laboratory study evaluating THC self-titration in cannabis users via vaping. Responsibilities include supporting data collection, blood sample processing, cognitive and mood assessments, mental status and psychiatric screenings, vital signs collection, electronic data collection, screening and recruitment, quality assurance, ethics submissions, and team communication. The RA will also contribute to other IMHPR projects, including data collection, analysis, management, academic writing, and knowledge translation. The role supports a diverse and collaborative workplace and will be performed in-person at various CAMH sites in Toronto.
