Position Summary

Do not miss this opportunity to join WashU's Department of Surgery Urology Clinical Research Team.

Urology Clinical Research Group is a small team of clinical research coordinators all reporting to the same manager. Although each coordinator has specific projects for which s/he is responsible, in many cases, projects require a team approach with coordinators relying heavily on each other for help and collaboration.

Employee will work mainly with patients experiencing Urologic conditions/problems as well as, to a smaller degree, healthy volunteers. Specific patient population will depend on a project and will vary from one project to another.

Typical day in Urology research is difficult to define as tasks will vary from day to day but common tasks in this position include, but are not limited to, medical records review, participant recruitment (by phone and/or in person) and consent. Employee will also be expected to conduct study visits, document all study activities as well as participant reported adverse events, enter data and complete all tasks necessary to maintain university research compliance. Some projects will require specimen collection in clinic and/or in the operating room, processing, and shipping. Employee will be expected to work closely with the study PI and clinical staff.

This position is 40 hours per week, on site, with somewhat flexible schedule, mainly aligned with the hours of Urology clinical operations.
