"Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator"

The UCSF Neurohospitalist Division specializes in providing neurologic care to hospitalized adults and investigating acute neurological conditions. Our translational research programs bridge bedside clinical observations with advances in neuroscience and aging biology.

We are seeking an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator (aCRC) to support two ongoing studies of hospitalized adults.

TRACK-DYNAMIC: This is a prospective study of delirium (a type of acute confusion) in older adults with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Central Nervous System Vasculitis Registry: This is a prospective study of patients with central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis, which is a type of inflammation that affects blood vessels.

While the neurologic conditions being studied are distinct, the responsibilities are similar across the two studies.

Under the supervision of the Principal Investigator (PI), and the PI for the CNS Vasculitis Registry, the Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator will perform entry-level duties related to the support and coordination of these studies, with direct patient care, and may receive training and development to prepare and advance for journey-level work at the next level within the series.

The Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator will be responsible for study coordination, which will involve the following:

• Gather and interpret medical and laboratory data in the electronic health record.
• Screen and recruit hospitalized patients meeting study eligibility criteria.
• Obtain informed consent from patients and/or surrogate decision-makers.
• Track enrollment, schedule follow-up appointments and retain study subjects.
• Collect, enter, and clean data, maintaining accurate and complete study records in REDCap and other electronic data capture systems.
• Coordinate collection and processing of biospecimens according to study protocols.
• Receive training and administer cognitive assessments and delirium screening instruments.
• Conduct follow-up assessments to evaluate post-discharge functional and cognitive outcomes.
• Assist with IRB submissions, continuing reviews, and protocol amendments.
• Assist with preparation of reports, tables, and manuscripts.
• Communicate with patients, families, clinical and research teams with professionalism and sensitivity.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Under full supervision, positions at this level perform entry-level duties related to the support and coordination of clinical studies. This may involve industry-sponsored Phase I, II, III and IV clinical trials, government-funded clinical research, and investigator-initiated clinical research. Examples of duties include, coordinate clinical treatment and follow-up care, and help facilitate their continued participation; abstract data from medical records and other sources.

The salary range for this position is $28.48 - $45.80 (Hourly Rate).
