A Brief Overview

PEDSnet is seeking a highly motivated Clinical Research Coordinator III who will join an internationally recognized group at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia working to transform the health of children. He or she will work within a dynamic team of researchers, data scientists, and programmers, as part of PEDSnet (https://www.pedsnet.org), and the Research Institute’s Applied Clinical Research Center (ACRC), to understand predictors of childhood diseases, improve the quality of children’s healthcare, and rapidly advance knowledge through the creation and development of learning health systems.

The Clinical Research Coordinator III will apply in-depth knowledge of clinical research and independently coordinate the activities of one or more large-scale, complex multi-center/multi-institutional studies within the PEDSnet network. The Coordinator will be responsible for managing and coordinating individual PEDSnet research projects—working with study teams to create and monitor project timelines, ensuring all regulatory and contractual agreements are in place, ensuring all project deliverables are met, and updating project status and tasks in the PEDSnet project management system. The Coordinator will be accountable for study oversight at one or more sites/institutions and will provide oversight in the preparation, management, and monitoring of study budgets.

The Coordinator will collaborate internal and external clinical staff, research teams, and other coordinators, providing resources and consulting on difficult protocols or projects.

As a front-facing representative of PEDSnet, the Coordinator plays a critical role in external engagement and relationship management, managing communications, coordinating data access requests, and managing account access for PEDSnet collaborators across multiple institutions.

Must be able to maintain confidentiality of information, meet deadlines, work on several projects simultaneously, and work independently while understanding the goals and concepts involved in the work performed.
