**Position Description**:
**Clinical Research Project Assistant**

The Clinical Research Project Assistant (CRPA) will work in the SickKids Hospital Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Centre. Within the Centre, clinical care is provided to over 1200 children and adolescents with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and closely integrated with research.

CAMEO (Clinical, endoscopic, and imaging outcomes of children newly diagnosed with Crohn's disease) is a collaborative study being performed at 26 leading pediatric inflammatory bowel disease centers in the United States and Canada. The purpose of CAMEO is to help us understand why some children with Crohn's disease (CD) treated with a common form of therapy (anti-TNF biologics) heal their intestine and others do not.

The Canadian Children Inflammatory Bowel Disease Network (CIDsCANN), led through the Sickkids IBD Centre, involves 12 paediatric IBD academic centres across Canada. CIDsCANN conducts patient-based and translational research to understand why Crohn's disease and chronic ulcerative colitis are increasing among children living in Canada, and to define the best therapies for subgroups of patients. Current initiatives include recruitment with pre-treatment biospecimens of a cohort of children with recent onset active luminal Crohn's disease in order to prospectively compare outcomes with two classes of monoclonal antibodies as first biologic therapy (AMBITION-CD).

The CRPA will assist in the conduct of both CIDsCaNN and CAMEO at SickKids.

The CRPA will be supervised by the Principal Investigator (Dr. Thomas Walters) and the IBD Centre Program Manager (Hayley McKay, MSc), who also oversees national implementation of AMBITION-CD.

**Here's What You'll Get To Do**:

- Attend IBD clinics held by the IBD Centre physicians and IBD inpatient ward rounds for the purpose of enrolling patients and conducting follow-up research activities.
- Collection of biologic samples and data (CRFs and questionnaires) from these patients at baseline and follow-up visits
- Responsible for data entry and checking data for accuracy and completeness.
- Work closely with an energetic team of physicians, clinical nurses, research coordinators and colleagues at SickKids, across Canada (in the CIDsCANN network), and the US (in the CAMEO study).

**Here's What You'll Need**:

- Bachelors Degree in sciences or a health related discipline is required
- Experience in clinical research is required
- Experience in IBD or GI disorders is a strong asset
- Strong communication, interpersonal and organizational skills.
- Experience working with REDCap is a strong asset
- Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
- Willingness to be present on site (4-5 days on-site per week)

**Special Skills/Aptitudes Required**:

- A team player with a positive attitude and proven record of routinely seeking ways to support teammates, interdepartmental colleagues, and patients to support study goals.
- High energy, self-motivated, and an ability to work independently and collaboratively within the multidisciplinary IBD Centre team.
- Exceptional communication, interpersonal, and facilitation skills to meet study goals and develop effective working relationships.
- Excellent organizational and time-management skills.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and meet deadlines, while paying close attention to detail and maintaining a view of the larger scope and goals.
- Superior problem recognition and problem-solving skills. Ability to independently problem solve as appropriate.
- A commitment to understanding and aiding in the pursuit of equity, diversity & inclusion

**Here's What You'll Love**:

- Enhancing children's health and changing the lives of children and their families every day.
- A focus on employee wellness with our new **Staff Health and Well-being Strategy**. Self-care helps us support others.
- ** Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion**.
- The opportunity to make an impact. Regardless of your role or pro
