- present research findings and methodologies to colleagues, customers, and expert and jurisdictional advisory committees, and periodically present at national or international meetings and conferences
- collaborate with external content experts, reviewers, stakeholders, and others to ensure the successful execution of assigned projects
- lead assessments, provide guidance to multidisciplinary project teams, and mentor new research staff and external contractors to ensure that the quality of our reports meets CADTH’s standards and customer requirements.

**Is this the right role for you?**
The Clinical Research Officer will likely have:

- a graduate degree, preferably in a health-related discipline, accompanied by a minimum of 3 full years of relevant research experience

- excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams, advisory committees, and external reviewers and experts (including the ability to review and provide feedback on others’ work and to respond constructively to feedback on your own work)
- the ability to work independently, and to prioritize and manage multiple projects to meet competing deadlines
- a drive to learn more and to see a job done well
- courage and confidence to suggest improvements, present opinions, and articulate conclusion
- proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook.

**What will set you apart?**
- training in epidemiology, health technology assessment, pharmacy, or a related discipline
- training or experience in conducting, reviewing, or critically appraising health-related studies, including observational studies
- experience with survey design, conducting surveys, semi-structured interviews, and/or consultation on and analysis of gathered information
