Lochmüller Research Group Hiring Clinical Trial Coordinator

Published: 23 February 2024

Due to recent funding success and expansion of our clinical trials team we have a need for a highly motivated Research Coordinator that will assist with research studies in children and adults with neuromuscular diseases.

The Lochmüller Research group works across the translational spectrum and its activities include identification of novel NMD causative genes, using advanced cellular and animal models to determine mechanisms and test new compounds, large data sharing methodologies, clinical trials, and patient care.
The successful candidate will work on a variety of projects including databases & registries, intervention and natural history studies, and pharmaceutical clinical trials.

While primarily based at CHEO, they will need to work across multiple sites, including the Ottawa Hospital Civic Campus, to help studies in both children and adults, with an ‘onsite-first hybrid work model’ providing some flexibility regarding hours and place of work.
