The INTREPID Lab at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is seeking a highly motivated full-time, temporary (12 months) Scientific Associates with expertise in clinical trials to join a multidisciplinary research program focused on improving behavioural treatment for nicotine addiction and co-occurring modifiable risk factors. Working under the supervision of the Principal Investigator, the successful candidate will support and lead key components of research examining how behavioural interventions for nicotine dependence can be strengthened, delivered, implemented, and sustained in real-world healthcare settings.
This position will require the individual to apply advanced quantitative and qualitative research skills in support of grant applications and real-world studies led by the Principal Investigator in areas including, but not limited to: quantitative and qualitative research design; development and management of research projects; data collection; quantitative and qualitative data management and analysis. The successful candidate will be expected to assist with study start-up (e.g., developing and submitting Research Ethics Board applications, writing study protocols and standard operating procedures), as well as participate in the preparation of research reports, grants, conference presentations, papers for publication, and other knowledge translation activities.
The Scientific
Associate will also contribute to mentorship of staff and research trainees as appropriate.
This position is well suited for an experienced research professional with robust methodological, organizational, and scientific writing skills who can help move complex research studies from concept through implementation, analysis, and knowledge translation.
The INTREPID Lab offers a collaborative and intellectually stimulating environment, where multidisciplinary teams work together to address persistent health challenges in addiction, mental health and chronic disease prevention.
Under the mentorship of the Principle Investigator you will gain unparalleled exposure to innovative, cross-sectoral collaborations that bridge science, clinical care, and policy. You will be part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team that values curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, where discoveries are translated rapidly into practice.
Research at INTREPID sits at the intersection of clinical practice, scalable implementation, and digital innovation, including AI. A significant focus of our research is on innovative methods to understand and treat addictive behaviours and their comorbidities. We apply the Learning Health System (LHS) approach, investigating how technology-enabled, equitable, and collaborative care can enhance evidence-based interventions while improving the care experience for both patients and providers.
Our work brings together collaborators across hospital and community care settings, academia (computer science, information and engineering faculties), and industry partners.
INTREPID is also committed to your growth: you’ll have opportunities to publish, lead projects, supervise trainees, and shape the future of digital and clinical innovations in addiction and chronic disease care. If you are passionate about impactful research that makes a tangible difference, INTREPID offers a place where your contributions truly matter.
