About The Position

The Kimberly Laboratory in the Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is seeking a motivated, enthusiastic candidate to join our research group. Our research group investigates multiple neurologic disorders, including stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and traumatic brain injury. For our clinical studies, we use metabolomics, proteomics, and novel imaging such as low-field, portable MRI. The Clinical Research Coordinator I will support ongoing clinical research studies in an inpatient neurology setting and work on ongoing lab-based metabolomics projects. This role involves screening and recruiting participants, obtaining informed consent, performing study-related tasks such as conducting portable low-field MRI scans and cognitive assessments, and managing regulatory documentation across several protocols. The Clinical Research Coordinator I will work closely with clinical staff in the Neurosciences ICU and on the inpatient neurology floor, coordinate with other ongoing inpatient studies, and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of investigators, physicians, nurses, industry partners, and suppliers to facilitate clinical study operations. Additionally, the coordinator will contribute to ongoing metabolomics projects using LC-MS/MS, including sample processing and data analysis. The position requires strong organizational skills, comfort interacting with acutely ill patients and their families, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced research environment. This role offers significant opportunities for professional growth, including involvement in projects at various phases including data collection, analysis, and manuscript preparation, with opportunities to engage in both clinical and lab-based research.
