About The Position

The Clinical Research Coordinator II handles administrative activities generally associated with the conduct of clinical trials. This position is for a projects manager to support research programming at Emory-Grady focused on HIV and women's health. A core emphasis will be on assessing the use and implementation of long-acting (LA) HIV treatment options across a variety of care settings. The research portfolio comprises a variety of study types (e.g., clinical/translational, implementation science); data instruments (e.g., human specimens, medical chart abstractions, surveys, interviews, etc.); and sponsors (e.g., CDC/NIH, industry, professional organizations/society, internal/CFAR), etc. The projects manager will be responsible for leading administrative aspects (i.e., regulatory, finances) and grow into supervision of other team members. They will meet with the PI weekly and lead team meetings (that occur on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis depending on the project stage). They should be familiarized with the process of primary quantitative and qualitative data collection, and in some instances data analysis, so that they can assist firsthand initially and eventually train/ support/ mentor other team members to execute these.
