Scientific Associate - Pre-Clinical Research

The Laboratory of Behavioural Neuroendocrinology at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is seeking a full-time, contract (12 months) Scientific Associate to support research on sex and gender differences in brain health, mental health, aging, and neurodegenerative disease. Reporting to the Principal Investigator (PI), the Scientific Associate will provide scientific and computational expertise, bridging computational methods with diverse research data, including raw preclinical and large-scale clinical, population-based, neuroimaging, and longitudinal datasets.

The successful candidate will apply computational research methods, machine learning, data science, and statistical modelling to organize, integrate, process, and analyze complex datasets. Experience investigating sex differences and/or sex-specific factors in biological or health research is strongly preferred, along with experience working with preclinical data and experimental research. Responsibilities will include programming, data preprocessing and quality control, data integration, statistical and machine learning modelling, visualization, and reproducible workflows.

The Scientific Associate will contribute to research projects, secondary data analyses, grant proposals, manuscripts, presentations, and knowledge translation, while providing mentorship to trainees and research staff. The role will support high standards of scientific integrity, data governance, reproducibility, and responsible use of computational methods.

This position is primarily based at the CAMH 250 College Street Site, with flexibility for hybrid work arrangements in accordance with operational requirements.
