Our Team

The CATA team welcomes new members!

Below is a list of open positions, but we’re flexible about roles and time commitments, and just excited to bring new trainees into the fold.

Any trainee involved in arthritis research in Canada is welcome to join, from undergrad to post-doc; clinical trainees are welcome too! Please contact us via email or Twitter if you’re interested in getting involved. And consider joining with a friend!

The Executive Committee is responsible for overall running of CATA sponsored activities and initiatives, especially webinars and other events with national reach, digital communications, and connecting with other organisations and institutions.

The Regional Directors connect ‘on-the'-ground’ with arthritis trainees in their local area to foster connections between trainees, and with consumer-patient partners, and advocate for local events supported by CATA and Arthritis Society Canada, according to the needs and interests of Chapter members.
