Additional Job Details (if applicable)

The ID CRU is deeply devoted to improving health equity in our community. It is well known that clinical research has disproportionately under-recruited from Black, Asian, and Hispanic populations. This has led to challenges in distributing the benefits of research to the very people who may most benefit from it. We at the CRU aim to change that by putting health equity at the core of our trials and by collaborating with community leaders to engage in participatory care.

• This role specifically is seeking a CRC that is fluent in spoken and written Spanish to provide support to our Spanish speaking participants within the Long COVID trail.

Our burgeoning team seeks mission-driven, intellectually curious, interactive, detail-oriented, and flexible members. A sense of humor is a must.
