Nova Scotia Health is the largest provider of health services in Nova Scotia, with some specialized services also offered to clients throughout Atlantic Canada.

We're on a mission to achieve excellence in health, healing and learning through working together, which is reflected in the hospitals, health centres and community-based programs we operate across the province.

Our passionate team of professionals provides a variety of high-quality inpatient and outpatient services including academic, tertiary, and quaternary care, as well as continuing care, primary health care, public health, and mental health and addictions.

Join a diverse team of innovators, collaborators and creative thinkers today.

Nova Scotia Health's Research, Innovation and Discovery portfolio is transforming health care delivery and improving the health of all Nova Scotians by leading initiatives that deliver high-impact health care solutions and developing strategic partnerships with clinical champions, industry, healthcare foundations, governments and academic partners.

By pairing leading researchers, innovators, and clinicians with entrepreneurs through our newly formed Health Innovation, Research and Discovery Hub, their creative solutions are improving health and health care while also contributing directly to Nova Scotia's economy.

If you are looking for an exciting new opportunity, this position plays an integral role in the testing and researching of many new treatments for hematological conditions.

The entire Hematology Research team is supportive and focused on the important work we do.

The position provides a structured environment, training and educational opportunities as it relates to research and Hematology, while allowing for autonomy.

While all research positions are term positions (renewable each year), Hematology Research is the largest clinical trials research group in Atlantic Canada and as such has a very stable flow of work allowing positions to be extended each year.

Reporting to the Manager, Hematology Research, and under the direction of the Research Nurse Coordinator, the Research Assistant plays an important role in the execution of a clinical trial.

The Research Assistant works closely with the Research Nurse Coordinator and Hematologist in ensuring data points are captured/entered into database; booking appointments/testing, calling patients, assisting with study administration and preparing lab kits for specimen collection.
