About The Position

The Emergency Department (ED) research team is seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator I to support our work. We are growing our dynamic team who support a variety of clinical trials and epidemiological surveillance research conducted in the fast-paced Emergency Department. Our work is clinically focused, and members of the research team work in person in the Emergency Department alongside clinical providers. Our Principal Investigators (PIs) conduct studies in partnership with two multicenter research networks: the CDC-sponsored New Vaccine Surveillance Network and the HRSA-sponsored Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN). Training and support to obtain a MA-Registered credential will be provided after hire. A MA-Registered credential is not required at the time of hire. The primary responsibility of the ED Clinical Research Coordinator I is to conduct real time screening, enrollment, and collect prospective data from eligible patients during their ED visit. Other responsibilities include maintaining regulatory documents and IRB correspondence; research specimen collection and management (e.g., nasal swabs, stool, blood); database creation, maintenance, review and oversight; and working with the PI to ensure that research projects are conducted in compliance with federal regulations, institutional policies/departmental guidelines, and standards of Good Clinical Practice. The ED Research Clinical Research Coordinator I will be expected to work four 10-hour shifts per week from 1pm-11pm, including one weekend shift per week. A shift differential is provided during evening and weekend hours. Strong candidates will have a proactive mindset, enthusiasm for collaboration and navigating fast-paced clinical environments and will be able to successfully approach and recruit families while remaining mindful of ED patient flow and sensitive situations. This position is an excellent fit for those considering future career training in medicine or nursing, or for those seeking a clinical research career who want the opportunity to work on a variety of research protocols focusing on different clinical questions.
