The RA will also contribute to knowledge translation initiatives and the ongoing development of an expanding program of research in transgender and gender-diverse mental health. The position follows a hybrid work model, with in-person activities such as team meetings, participant interviews and diagnostic assessments; and virtual research visits and meetings.
The successful candidate will support a work environment that embraces diversity, and values initiative, scientific rigour, equity, and continuous learning.
