The successful candidate will join a collaborative team developing and evaluating AI-enabled systems—orchestrating studies spanning AI-powered clinical decision tools, multimodal data analysis, and new digital consent and data collection platforms—with the goal of advancing research and care in neurodegenerative diseases and cognition.
The Assistant CRC may be responsible for the coordination of one or more single or multi-site, active, or follow-up clinical trials across the lab’s project portfolio. Key responsibilities include assisting in preparing study protocols for initiation, helping design flow sheets, data forms, and source documents, and applying inclusion/exclusion eligibility criteria to candidate participants. The Assistant CRC will support participant recruitment, enrollment, registration, scheduling, and retention, working closely with research personnel to keep participants on protocol schedules. Additional duties include completing and submitting study forms to sponsors and agencies, collecting and entering data into study databases, maintaining data quality, assisting with data cleaning and preliminary analysis, and helping generate reports and tables. The role also involves attending team meetings, supporting project management across concurrent studies, and performing other duties as assigned.
