Job Summary

Our research team led by Dr. Yelena Wu at Huntsman Cancer Institute is hiring a full-time Clinical Research Coordinator to join our highly collaborative and energetic group. This position will involve coordinating and supporting on a number of studies focused on behavioral approaches to skin cancer prevention, especially in young populations. These studies include NIH - and internally-funded studies on interventions to prevent skin cancer in children delivered through social media to parents, in schools, and in rural communities through youth sports. The Clinical Research Coordinator will prepare materials for study visits, recruit participants into the research study, facilitate intervention and assessment visits, and communicate with participants to encourage study participation. The Coordinator will also create reports of study activities and outcomes, which will involve data cleaning and running basic descriptive statistics. Other data-related tasks may include creating tables and figures based on collected data along with coding qualitative (intervention) data. Job duties may involve travel to sports complexes, with some overnight, evening, and weekend visits being necessary. Secondary responsibilities may include providing assistance on related research projects.
This position is patient-sensitive and must fulfill all associated vaccination requirements, or be approved for an exemption, prior to the first day of work. We protect our patients, coworkers and community by requiring all patient-sensitive employees to be immunized according to CDC standards and hospital policy.
