Nova Scotia Health is the largest provider of health services in Nova Scotia, with some specialized services also offered to clients throughout Atlantic Canada. We’re on a mission to achieve excellence in health, healing and learning through working together, which is reflected in the hospitals, health centres and community-based programs we operate across the province. Our passionate team of professionals provides a variety of high-quality inpatient and outpatient services including academic, tertiary, and quaternary care, as well as continuing care, primary health care, public health, and mental health and addictions. Join a diverse team of innovators, collaborators and creative thinkers today.

Nova Scotia Health’s Research, Innovation and Discovery portfolio is transforming health care delivery and improving the health of all Nova Scotians by leading initiatives that deliver high-impact health care solutions and developing strategic partnerships with clinical champions, industry, healthcare foundations, governments and academic partners. By pairing leading researchers, innovators, and clinicians with entrepreneurs through our newly formed Health Innovation, Research and Discovery Hub, their creative solutions are improving health and health care while also contributing directly to Nova Scotia’s economy.

**About the Opportunity**:
The Maritime SPOR SUPPORT Unit (MSSU), formed in 2013, is one of eleven geographically based research units across Canada designed to provide methodological, data, knowledge translation and capacity building activities that facilitate the conduct of high-quality research to improve the health of the people living in the Maritime Provinces. By design, the MSSU addresses the health research priorities of government and provincial health authorities, while also serving as a resource to health researchers and the public. The MSSU is dedicated to supporting patient-oriented research and decision-making that will reflect the needs and values of Maritime patients.

The MSSU functions as a Maritime organization designed to build health research resources, to focus on collaborative opportunities and to perform research projects based in two or three provinces. In addition, each province has its own node that functions somewhat independently to support research projects that take place predominantly within the single province. These provincial nodes are supported by provincial advisory committees that oversee the research related activities taking place in each provincial node. The MSSU has staff located in Halifax, Nova Scotia; Saint John, Fredericton, and Moncton, New Brunswick; and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

The MSSU Research Assistant works under the direction of the Research Manager and supports the Senior Health Researcher(s) in the research activities of the MSSU. The Research Assistant is responsible for managing the administrative duties for multiple research projects simultaneously and is a contributing member of multi-disciplinary research teams.
