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 RA3 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 RA3 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 RA3 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
- Performs intake and discharge of participants at the data collection site.
- Performs a wide variety of clinical and functional tests at the data collection site including:

- As part of ongoing training, may assist with performance of carotid artery ultrasound testing.
- As part of ongoing training, may assist with bone mineral density and body composition testing using dual x-ray absorptiometry.
- May assist biological sample collection and processing.
- May be required to perform some participant interviews by telephone.
- Assists with scheduling of study participants.
- Carries out any other related duties as required in keeping with qualifications and requirements of positions in this classification.

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.

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

- 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.
