Why This Role Exists 

NRG Oncology trials answer questions that change how cancer is treated. When those trials run in a community practice, patients can join them close to home, with the oncologist they already know and trust. Profound is growing its oncology research, and NRG studies are an important part of that work.  

This role is for a coordinator who already knows who cooperative group research runs. You’ll be the lead coordinator for NRG studies across our Sterling Heights and Farmington Hills sites in Michigan, working directly with our investigators and partner oncology practices. You’ll enroll patients, keep data and safety reporting current, and follow participants through treatment and long-term follow-up.
