Job Description

The UCSF Bronchiectasis and Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM) program comprises clinicians from the Pulmonary and Infectious Disease divisions who collaborate to care for patients with complex pulmonary disease and pulmonary infections. Research, including clinical trials of new therapeutics and prospective observational studies, is a critical part of the program's mission. The program is seeking an Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator (aCRC) to assist with the daily operations of our research enterprise. The incumbent may also provide some support to patients in the role of Patient Navigator.

The aCRC will be trained by investigators with the Divisions of Pulmonary Medicine and Infectious Diseases and by an existing network of CRCs and aCRCs within the division. The aCRC will perform entry-level duties related to the execution, management, and coordination of research protocols, as directed by the Principal Investigator (PI) and/or Co-Investigator (co-I). The incumbent will coordinate the data collection and operations of several concurrent clinical research studies under the guidelines of research protocols, UCSF, and regulating agency policies. Activities will be supervised by a CRC, PI, and co-PI.

Incumbent's duties may include, but will not be limited to supporting the management and coordinating the tasks of single or multiple clinical research studies, depending on their size and complexity; acting as intermediary between services and departments while overseeing data and specimen management; managing and reporting on study results; creating, cleaning, updating, and managing databases and comprehensive reports; managing the Investigators' protocols in the Committee on Human Research online system and central IRB systems, as well as renewals and modifications of protocol applications and the implementation of new studies; participating in the review and writing of protocols to ensure institutional review board approval within University compliance; helping assure compliance with all relevant regulatory agencies; overseeing study data integrity; interfacing with departments to obtain UCSF approval prior to study initiation; maintaining all regulatory documents; reporting study progress to investigators; participating in any internal and external audits or reviews of study protocols; and performing other duties as assigned.

In the Patient Navigator portion of the role, which is dependent on the program's fluctuating research and patient care needs, the incumbent may provide support to patients who require assistance in navigating the medical system. Responsibilities may include calling patients to remind them of appointments and helping patients to schedule appointments with other specialists, radiology, and specialized testing. The incumbent will organize and manage multidisciplinary conference meetings weekly.

All responsibilities are within the INTEGRATE program, but given the multidisciplinary approach to this program, supervision will be split by approximately 0.6FTE Pulmonary Medicine and 0.4FTE by Infectious Diseases

The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy.

Your placement within the salary range is dependent on a number of factors including your work experience and internal equity within this position classification at UCSF. For positions that are represented by a labor union, placement within the salary range will be guided by the rules in the collective bargaining agreement.

The salary range for this position is $28.48 - $45.80 (Hourly Rate).
