Job Summary

Our research team led by Dr. Yelena Wu at Huntsman Cancer Institute is hiring a full-time Clinical Research Coordinator to join our highly collaborative and energetic group. This position will involve coordinating and supporting on a number of studies focused on behavioral approaches to skin cancer prevention, especially in young populations. These studies include NIH- and internally-funded studies on interventions to prevent skin cancer in children delivered through social media to parents, in schools, and in rural communities through youth sports. The Clinical Research Coordinator will prepare materials for study visits, recruit participants into the research study, facilitate intervention and assessment visits, and communicate with participants to encourage study participation. The Coordinator will also create reports of study activities and outcomes, which will involve data cleaning and running basic descriptive statistics. Other data-related tasks may include creating tables and figures based on collected data along with coding qualitative (interview) data. Job duties may involve travel to sports complexes, with some overnight, evening, and weekend visits being necessary. Secondary responsibilities may include providing assistance on related research projects.

This position is patient-sensitive and must fulfill all associated vaccination requirements, or be approved for an exemption, prior to the first day of work. We protect our patients, coworkers and community by requiring all patient-sensitive employees to be immunized according to CDC standards and hospital policy. Limited exemptions may be made for documented medical contraindications or religious beliefs that object to vaccinations.

Applicants must demonstrate the potential ability to perform the essential functions of the job as outlined in the position description.

Huntsman Cancer Institute is committed to cancer prevention, care, and survivorship for all communities within the area we serve -- which includes Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming -- with impact worldwide.
In your cover letter or during your interview process, we invite you to share how your professional experiences have prepared you to serve as a member of our team as we work to reduce the cancer burden experienced by all people and communities. This may include description of your prior experiences related to research, prevention, clinical care, community engagement/outreach, training, administration, or other areas relevant to Huntsman Cancer Institute's mission and this position.
