Role Overview:
Myant is seeking a Clinical Scientist to join our Clinical Sciences team. In this role, you will contribute to the research, development, testing, and clinical validation of innovative medical devices and connected health technologies built on Myant's proprietary e-textile platform.
Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you will support the design and execution of clinical research studies, prepare REB submissions, and support external research teams that use the Skiin platform in their studies. You will also evaluate clinical and research applications of Myant physiological monitoring technologies and investigate how Myant products can be integrated into research, healthcare delivery and everyday health management.
The successful candidate will bring strong scientific and analytical capabilities, an understanding of clinical research methodologies, and the ability to translate clinical needs and research findings into practical product development insights. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to emerging technologies at the intersection of healthcare, biomedical engineering, and wearable technology.
Key Responsibilities:
Clinical Research & Ethics
- Design, plan and run clinical and human-subject studies, including product validation, from protocol through data collection.
- Develop and amend protocols, consent forms and study documents, and manage Research Ethics Board (REB) submissions, amendments and renewals in line with regulatory and company quality requirements.
- Analyze and interpret clinical and user research data, and lead scientific abstracts, manuscripts, white papers and conference presentations.
- Conduct literature reviews to identify new clinical opportunities and inform study design and product direction.
Clinical Product Development & Integration
- Research, test and demonstrate the clinical benefit of physiological measurement using wearable and e-textile sensing technologies.
- Contribute clinical input to the ideation, design and validation of new wearable medical devices, working with engineering and product teams to translate clinical needs into product requirements, test methods and validation activities.
- Support prototype testing and evaluation, troubleshoot technical and usability issues, and communicate findings to relevant team members.
- Identify how Myant technologies fit into clinical workflows, healthcare delivery, care pathways and preventive health management.
- Study user experience, behaviour and engagement across diverse populations, including older adults, people with health conditions and healthcare professionals, to improve the accuracy, usability and clinical relevance of Myant products.
Research Partnerships
- Identify research partners and support contract preparation and sign-off, so that research collaborations deliver value to Myant.
- Act as the main scientific contact for universities, hospitals and other external researchers using the Skiin platform, and resolve blockers so their studies run smoothly.
Qualifications:
- Master's or PhD degree in Clinical Sciences, Health Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Kinesiology, Rehabilitation Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 2-5 years of clinical research, clinical practice or applied healthcare experience, including study design, protocol development and REB submissions.
- Research experience with wearables and cardiovascular health is a strong asset; experience in geriatric care, rehabilitation or chronic disease management is also an asset.
- Biostatistics skills (R, Python or SAS) are considered a strong asset.
- Understanding of physiological signals, biosignal measurement, and signal processing techniques is considered a strong asset.
- Product design experience, or experience working closely with product teams, is considered an asset.
- Strong analytical and scientific writing skills, with the ability to interpret scientific literature and translate findings into practical recommendations.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to manage competing priorities across technical and non-technical teams in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary R&D environment.
