The Senior Research Analyst is responsible for the quality of research and results for the different research projects. This includes travel to participate in conferences and meetings as needed.

The second key responsibility is to manage research projects of the BC site for the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies (CNODES). The Senior Research Analyst will be planning and executing the largest studies or/and most rushed queries; analyzing data and interpreting findings; preparing reports; writing research abstracts and manuscripts, publishing in peer-reviewed journals in cooperation with team members across Canada.

Other responsibilities include overseeing research protocols and study design; providing complex analysis for large research project grants; assessing the analysis resource needs of other working groups in the Therapeutics Initiative and providing analysis resource support as required; other duties as required.

The Senior Research Analyst will make professional decisions and recommendations on all aspects of work, and will work with considerable latitude and independent thinking.
