You'll be the participant's main point of contact. You will screen and enroll participants, run virtual study visits by video, guide them through standardized functional assessments, monitor daily symptom diaries and follow up on missed entries, and record data in the electronic data capture system according to protocol. You'll be trained on all assessments by the study's physiotherapist investigator and work alongside a clinical trial consultant on protocol compliance.

- Experience with human-subject research, ideally in a coordinator or RA role
- Current GCP certification, or willingness to complete it before start

- Available 20–25 hours per week, with some flexibility for participant scheduling (evenings/weekends)
- Based in Canada
- $30/hour
