Research Study Coordinator Sr. Job in Chicago Move Collective Jobs

Research Coordinator Coordinates & completes the day to day administrative & technical activities involved in a single complex, large, nationwide or multiple moderately complex concurrent biomedical &/or social-behavioral research study(ies) involving multiple sites& /or longitudinal assessments/ interventions. Ensures that all activities are completed by strictly following Good Clinical Practices (GCP) & all relevant current local, state, & federal laws, regulations, guidance, policy & procedure developed by the NU Institutional Review Board (IRB), Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), & the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). The Center for Computational and Social Sciences in Health (COMPASS) within the Institute of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (I.AIM) is a research center that seeks to foster connection between data science, social science and population health to increase the capacity for cutting‑edge research that uses social and behavioral science and computational methodology to understand and enable the health of populations. COMPASS is directed by Dr. Birkett and Dr. Janulis (Associate Director) and builds upon their decade of scientific work leading the Complex Systems and Health Disparities (CONNECT) Research Program within Northwestern's Impact Institute that was focused on elucidating the complex mechanisms driving the health disparities of stigmatized populations, in particular gender and sexual minorities. COMPASS extends this work through three interrelated priorities: building transdisciplinary collaborations; training the next generation of population health scholars; and conducting cutting‑edge research on the social and structural drivers of population health. The Center houses several NIH‑funded studies that seek to further understanding on how contextual and multilevel factors influence health outcomes through the use of complex modeling - including network analysis and simulation - as well as by building tools to improve the collection and measurement of complex data for social and behavioral health research. The SILOS (Structural Inequities across Layers Of Social‑Context as Drivers of HIV and Substance Use) project, directed by PI Dr. Birkett, will conduct innovative observational research across five US cities in order to better understand the social contexts which drive HIV and substance use. Through in-depth remote network surveys of 2,700 racially diverse young men who have sex with men and transgender women (YMSM‑TW), the Northwestern team will examine how an individual's social position determines the people and the places they have access to, how supportive or risky these social and contextual environments are, and how these connections might pool risk and provide fewer resources to those with marginalized and multiple marginalized identities. Within each of the five target cities, the team will establish local Community Advisory Boards of racially diverse YMSM‑TW to help guide the development of recruitment outreach plans shaped by the consideration of key venues, locations, and apps important within the community context as well as provide lived experience input on model development and data interpretation activities. The project's unique emphasis on both sophisticated computational approaches and the integration of community voices will help produce tangible targets for public health intervention as well as transform the scientific understanding of the social and structural drivers of health.
