This position will serve as a Senior Clinical Research Coordinator with the Better Tomorrow Network within the Institute for Trauma Recovery (Department of Psychiatry). The Senior Clinical Research Coordinator is responsible for the planning, organization, conduct, and evaluation of multi-faceted clinical research protocols, including study execution, developing strategies and solutions to improve study processes and execution, providing reviews of other team members' work product, and serving as mentor and subject matter expert. The BTN Coordinator will independently provide clinical research administration and study coordination. The Coordinator will work alongside the BTN Manager and PI to advance BTN's mission, and will help manage research staff and student volunteers working on BTN studies. This position will be responsible for a broad range of duties related to planning, organizing, executing, and monitoring the implementation of new and existing studies and other research initiatives. Duties will include supporting the PI and BTN Manager with maintaining research methods, tracking patients in the study, providing feedback and suggestions on the development/revision of research protocols and regulatory correspondence, and maintaining accurate and updated manuals of procedures for the studies. This position will serve as lead coordinator on one or more BTN studies. The Coordinator will also help oversee the network of partnering sites and contribute to the identification, selection, and negotiation of additional sites and studies, ensuring that partnering sites have the skill level and availability necessary to properly conduct the research. This position will also ensure that BTN staff are adhering to the appropriate SOPs and achieving excellence in patient/participant care. Due to the nature of the research (sexual assault) and the geographical spread of study sites across time zones, typical encounters are after business hours and on the weekends, therefore it is typical that the position will provide support, respond when a potential research subject has been identified and make decisions.
