The CRC will be trained by investigators with the Divisions of Pulmonary Medicine and Infectious Diseases and by an existing network of CRCs and aCRCs within the division. The CRC will perform duties related to the execution, management, and coordination of research protocols, as directed by the Principal Investigator (PI) and/or Co-Investigator (co-I). The incumbent will coordinate the data collection and operations of several concurrent clinical research studies under the guidelines of research protocols, UCSF, and regulating agency policies. Activities will be supervised by a CRC, PI, and co-PI.

Incumbent's duties may include, but will not be limited to supporting the management and coordinating the tasks of single or multiple clinical research studies, depending on their size and complexity; acting as intermediary between services and departments while overseeing data and specimen management; managing and reporting on study results; creating, cleaning, updating, and managing databases and comprehensive reports; managing the Investigators' protocols in the Committee on Human Research online system and central IRB systems, as well as renewals and modifications of protocol applications and the implementation of new studies; participating in the review and writing of protocols to ensure institutional review board approval within University compliance; helping assure compliance with all relevant regulatory agencies; overseeing study data integrity; interfacing with departments to obtain UCSF approval prior to study initiation; maintaining all regulatory documents; reporting study progress to investigators; participating in any internal and external audits or reviews of study protocols; coordinating obtainment and processing of biospecimens; and performing other duties as assigned.

All responsibilities are within the INTEGRATE program, but given the multidisciplinary approach to this program, supervision will be split by approximately 0.6FTE Pulmonary Medicine and 0.4FTE by Infectious Diseases.
The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy.

Your placement within the salary range is dependent on a number of factors including your work experience and internal equity within this position classification at UCSF. For positions that are represented by a labor union, placement within the salary range will be guided by the rules in the collective bargaining agreement.
