The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) is a national study of aging and health, both at population and individual levels. The CLSA has recruited 51,000 individuals across Canada to participate over 20 years, approximately 1500 of whom are interviewed and assessed through a data collection site (DCS) at UBC in Vancouver. Information is collected from participants once every 3 years through in-person interviews, as well as physical assessments and biological sample collections at the UBC DCS. When in-person interviews are not possible, phone interviews are performed instead.

Job Summary
The CLSA RA4 will assist in the collection of data from study participants through a variety of tests and surveys administered from the CLSA Data Collection Site (DCS) in the Centre for Brain Health at the University of British Columbia. In some cases, interviews may be performed by telephone call, for example when participants live out of the commutable area, or when they are physically no longer able to participate in person. The CLSA RA4 will contribute to achievement of overall project goals by assisting the CLSA DCS Manager (the Manager) with administrative tasks at the data collection site, including scheduling of participant appointments.

Organizational Status
The CLSA RA4 reports directly to the CLSA Data Collection Site Manager (the Manager) and works collaboratively with other study personnel on data collection. The Manager reports directly to the UBC CLSA Site Principal Investigator, Dr. Teresa Liu-Ambrose, and the CLSA National Coordinating Centre at McMaster University.

Work Performed

  • Intake and discharge of participants at the data collection site.
  • Performing a wide variety of clinical and functional tests at the data collection site including:
  • general anthropometric and vital sign measurements
  • cardiovascular measures- 12 lead ECG, carotid artery ultrasound
    o lung function tests
    o bone mineral density and body composition using dual x-ray absorptiometry
    o visual system testing, including visual acuity, ocular pressure and retinal scanning
    o audiometry
    o mobility, balance, and strength testing
    o cognitive performance testing
  • Assists with biological sample collection and processing.
  • Recording inventories of consumable supplies once per month.
  • Scheduling of study participants.
  • Operates and maintains all highly specialized equipment requiring extensive training.
  • Performance of regular calibration, maintenance and quality control checks of equipment at the data collection site.
  • May provide instruction and training in the use of specialized techniques and equipment to more junior staff.
  • Carries out any other related duties as required in keeping with qualifications and requirements of positions in this classification.

Decision Making/Accountability

Works within clearly defined guidelines and procedures, but exercises judgment in establishing priorities, trouble-shooting problems, and carrying tasks through to completion; new or unusual problems are referred to the Manager, a more senior CLSA research assistant on the team, or the CLSA National Biorepository Coordinator at McMaster University.

Consequence of Error/Judgement

  • Inappropriate judgement would compromise the quality of research studies and related data acquisition and the reporting of research outcomes.
  • Inappropriate judgement also could compromise the safety and wellbeing of the participants.
  • Inappropriate judgement would compromise research success and affect the credibility of the Principal Investigator.

Supervision Received
Works under the supervision of the Manager in carrying out all phases of duties and responsibilities; receives instructions from the Manager or a senior CLSA research assistant during orientation and on subsequent new assignments or changes in procedures, with a goal to achieving functional independence for all tasks and responsibilities; may also receive supervision and/or instruction from other study employees at higher classification levels than themselves and as deemed appropriate by the Manager.

Supervision Given
As deemed appropriate by the Manager, and depending on experience, may participate in:

  • Training of new and/or more junior staff in the use of equipment, techniques and procedures, as deemed appropriate by the Manager.
  • Overseeing the work of incumbents in lower level positions within CLSA data collection site operations, as deemed appropriate by the Manager.

Minimum Qualifications
Completion of a university degree in a relevant discipline or technical program and a minimum four years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Some positions may require a graduate degree.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Fluent in English.
  • Technical diploma or university degree in related discipline in the health or biomedical sciences.
  • At least 3 years (combined) of work experience in a related field or research project, for example.

o Experience with the CLSA, either data collection or data analysis.

o Experience working in a clinical research setting, including experience with tests of physical, psychological and cognitive functioning similar to those used by the CLSA.

o Experience conducting interviews, in person or by telephone, in epidemiological or clinical research.

  • Proficiency working with computers running Microsoft operating systems and software applications.
  • Must be well organized, detail-oriented and able to adhere to detailed SOPs and keep concise records when required, such as maintenance and calibration records, or case report forms for data collection.
  • Must be reliable, independent and professional.
  • Must be willing to work some evenings and weekends.
