Overview
The Pediatric Solid Tumor Program at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is seeking to hire a motivated Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) to work within the Clinical Translational Research Program (CTIP) on trials specific to the Solid Tumor Biology and research portfolio. The pediatric Solid Tumor Program is one of the largest in the world and treats children with a range of solid tumor diagnoses providing novel and cutting edge therapies for these rare diseases. The Clinical Research Coordinator will work within the Solid Tumor Biology group and will support the research team in the overall conduct of specimen-based clinical research studies using Good Clinical Practice under the auspices of the Principal Investigator(s) and DFCI Pediatric oncology clinical trial leadership. The CRC will be responsible for the primary data collection and management of patient clinical information as it pertains to participation in biology trials and ensure timely collection of protocol-related samples including shipment to outside entities as required. The CRC may obtain informed consent on non-treatment trials, and will also register study participants. Other responsibilities may include IRB protocol submissions (amendments, continuing reviews, secondary-use protocol, and minimal risk protocols). The opportunity to work 1:1 with patients and their families is an added bonus for this role. It is anticipated that this job opportunity will lead to educational opportunities as well as the prospect for advancement within the division and the Institute.
Only applicants living within New England (ME, VT, NH, MA, CT, RI) at the time of employment will be considered. Candidates must have the ability to work from our Boston, MA office for onsite days.
Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a leader in life changing breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care. We are united in our mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS and related diseases. We strive to create an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment where we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all backgrounds, and design programs to promote public health particularly among high-risk and underserved populations. We conduct groundbreaking research that advances treatment, we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers, and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.
