Which roles are not used in the solo game, and can the CDC keep reassigning its role?

The designer confirmed the unused roles in 2013 and 2016; the rest follows the rulebook.

The Dispatcher, Researcher, Epidemiologist and Local Liaison are not used (and Special Orders isn't either); the Pilot and Field Director work but are weaker. The CDC can reassign your role while you are at a research station, but a role you leave is removed from the game and can't be returned to by the CDC. Borrowed Time and Re-examined Research can affect the CDC.
