Job Description:

The Stanford Center for Clinical Research (SCCR) is a growing academic research organization within the Stanford Department of Medicine. Our mission is to advance impactful clinical research through quality operations. SCCR is collaborating with Stanford's Division of Infectious Diseases and Chemistry, Engineering & Medicine for Human Health (ChEM-H) on a new set of initiatives relating to COVID-19 and other therapeutic areas. We are seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator II (CRC2) to launch multiple, globally impactful research projects. You will help develop a new portfolio of interdisciplinary, dynamic pilot studies-many of which are investigator-initiated trials. You will also help build and strengthen new partnerships in collaboration with a Research Manager and VIP stakeholders in the School of Engineering and the School of Medicine.

The CRC2 will conduct clinical research and work independently on progressively more complex projects/assignments. You will also independently manage significant and key aspects of a large study or all aspects of one or more small research studies. This requires an experienced, CRC2 who will work onsite in a COVID-19 clinic. You will have exceptional communication skills and help build and strengthen new, multidisciplinary partnerships. The CRC2 will develop and launch a new and rapidly growing portfolio of complex clinical research projects relating to COVID-19 and potentially other therapeutic areas. You will report to a Clinical Research Manager in SCCR, and work with minimal supervision. The CRC2 will also ideally need experience leveraging social media to develop strategic tools to engage participants to come to the clinic for therapeutic care.

At SCCR, we strive to find team members who are passionate about their work, flexible, fun, and want to deliver results. We place a high priority on equipping our staff to perform their job efficiently, helping them acquire new skills and grow within the organization. We encourage our team to have a healthy balance between work commitments and life outside of work and provide support to achieve this balance.
