Hi all, My workplace is looking to hire a Research Methods Specialist to work in the MRI Unit of the Research Imaging Centre here at CAMH. I currently hold a similar position with an imaging-genetics research lab in the same centre, and it's an interesting mix of tech/IT/software engineering/data wrangling and research. If you have an MR physics background you especially might enjoy it.
You can apply for the job directly, and if you have any specific questions about the job you can direct them to the head of the unit, Nancy Lobaugh at [email protected].
