Clinical Research Coordinator A/B (Epidemiology Division)
About The Position
This position will assist in the coordination of multiple research projects, which may include clinical trials and observational studies focused on gastrointestinal disorders and/or research relating to healthy volunteers as a lead coordinator and as a backup for studies lead by other team members. Tasks include but are not limited to screening of patients, obtaining informed consent, collection, processing and storage of biological samples, and collection and entry of patient reported data and clinical information from medical record review. This position will also work closely with the research team to accomplish study goals, identify problems and develop solutions. The Clinical Research Coordinator A will coordinate and implement research projects focused on gastrointestinal diseases. This position is hybrid eligible, however, requires implementation of in-person study visits at least 4 days a week during most weeks. The Clinical Research Coordinator B, in addition to the above, will establish workflows and methods to operationalize protocols, regularly prepare, draft, and submit regulatory correspondences, and mentor/train less experienced research staff in the completion of their duties, when required. This position will also participate in the development of protocols and data collection instruments. The CRC B will have less supervision and will need to use more independent judgment when managing their assigned research studies. Position is contingent on continued funding.
