Hi Sarah,

 

A clinical research coordinator position is opening up in my research team at MGH! I work in the Gastrointestinal Unit under the guidance of Dr. Kyle Staller and Dr. Braden Kuo. They are really amazing mentors and my time here has been great! There is a lot of patient interaction for people who want to gain more clinical experience. We are looking for someone who is willing to do 2 years.

 

For the position that is opening up it will mostly be working on 3 studies that deal with upper GI diseases, such as gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia. The new employee will also be involved in a new study that we are starting up on gastroparesis in collaboration with other members of our team working on fMRIs.  We recruit patients, participate in their study visits and make sure that the studies remain in compliance with the ethics board. Each study does different things during the study visit. We also have the ability to start our own small individual projects.

 

If you could send this along to the HPP listerv that would be great! Anyone who wishes to apply should use enter the job number  3064132 at this website:
