The Division of Medical Oncology in the Department of Medicine has an outstanding opportunity for a full-time Research Coordinator.
The purpose of this position is to promote the research objectives of the GI program in the Division of Oncology. This position works with Division of Medical Oncology faculty, Research Manager and other research and clinical staff to facilitate GI pharmaceutical-sponsored and investigator-initiated clinical trials. This position is responsible for independently implementing and coordinating multiple research projects using Good Clinical Practice to test research hypotheses in human subjects.
This position is constantly required to integrate information from multiple sources to ensure that all research projects are conducted according to GCP, the research protocol and regulatory requirements of the University, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and the study sponsor. This position works closely with clinic staff to ensure all protocol procedures are completed as required, including pharmacy, infusion, clinic and radiology staff as well as ensuring data collected is accurate.

The mission statement of the University of Washington Medical Center states that the Medical Center serves as a research resource, providing an environment in which clinical research may be conducted. This position is essential to that mission. This position provides significant contributions to research development, implementation and analysis for the GI Program in the Division of Oncology. It is responsible for overseeing the management of clinical trials, the majority of which provide significant financial support for the GI program. Furthermore, at any one time up to 30 oncology patients from the various GI trials will be enrolled on these clinical trials.
This position must be able to work independently on multiple research projects without benefit of written policies or procedures. This position requires daily interaction with pharmaceutical sponsors, physicians, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, other health care personnel (e.g. nurses, patient care coordinators, insurance companies), and patients.
