"Clinical Research Coordinator A/B"

Job Description Summary

The Traumatic Brain Injury Research Initiative within the Department of Neurology (TBIRI) aims to increase TBI knowledge and improve the recovery and health outcomes of patients with brain injuries through ground-breaking research involving neuroimaging, blood biomarkers, neuropsychological assessment, and pharmacological and device interventions. TBIRI is seeking a detail-oriented and dynamic Clinical Research Coordinator A/B to lead the coordination and execution of both interventional and observational research studying acute and chronic TBI.

Job Description

The CRC A/B will function as part of a multidisciplinary team and will report directly to the TBIRI Program Lead under the supervision of the TBIRI Principal Investigators. The CRC will be responsible for the coordination and execution of multiple industry-sponsored and investigator-initiated clinical studies through their entire lifecycle (startup, conduct and closeout). Experience working with patients with brain injury or neurological disorders is not required; however, a genuine interest and comfortability in working with these populations and their families is essential. The ability to "read the room" and adjust communication style accordingly to adapt to sensitive topics and vulnerable patients is critical. The role requires flexibility and ability to transition to new tasks when required due to the unpredictable nature of our population. The position offers a unique opportunity to gain direct experience in conducting neuropsychological assessments, MRI imaging sessions, and operating TMS-EEG and other devices. The ideal candidate should be detail-oriented and have prior experience conducting clinical research while adhering to applicable regulatory policies for patient and data protection.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: 1) Medical chart screening and recruitment (both within the Neuro ICU and Emergency Department); 2) Facilitating consent and enrollment procedures both in inpatient and outpatient settings; 3) Scheduling and conducting follow-up visits, ensuring patient accommodation and relationship-building for longitudinal assessment; 4) Regulatory preparation and submission; and assisting with audit preparation and study document optimization.

In addition to the duties above, the CRC-B will be expected to work with greater independence and have a greater degree of regulatory prowess and clinical trial knowledge with the potential to train/orient others.

Hiring range minimum for this position is $46,500.

Salary offers are made based on the candidate's qualifications, experience, skills, and education as they directly relate to the requirements of the position, as well as internal and market factors and grade profile.

• CRC-A: Bachelor of Science and 1 to 2 years of experience or equivalent combination of education and experience is required.
• CRC-B: Bachelor of Science and 2 to 3 years of experience or equivalent combination of education and experience is required.
