About The Position

The C3 Global Trauma Network conducts innovative, collaborative, federally-funded trauma care research, primarily in high-trauma international settings. It employs rigorous observational and interventional methodologies to address contemporary clinical knowledge gaps, aiming to generate high-quality evidence to enhance early trauma (injury) care, with a specific focus on improving patient outcomes in resource-constrained environments like South Africa. The network has a strong record of NIH and U.S. Department of Defense funding, numerous peer-reviewed publications, and scientific presentations, striving to fill clinical and scientific gaps for civilians globally and the U.S. military. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative and exciting multi-disciplinary team, located in both the USA and South Africa, as a Research Services Professional. Intermediate Clinical Science Professionals perform clinical research functions, including patient-oriented research or research with human subjects, focusing on mechanisms of human disease, therapeutic interventions, clinical trials, or the development of new technologies. They may also contribute to epidemiologic and behavioral studies, outcomes research, and health services research.

The level of responsibility, technical complexity, and autonomy for the Research Services Professional will increase in accordance with their job tier (intermediate or senior).
