This is a highly autonomous role designed for an experienced coordinator who can manage competing priorities, identify operational challenges, and drive studies forward with a high degree of independence. Many studies will not have CRO infrastructure or dedicated management support, so the Senior CRC must function as the primary coordinator responsible for study operations, ensuring studies remain compliant, organized, and on track from startup through closeout. This role offers the opportunity to help shape and grow a multidisciplinary EGID research program within academic medicine.
