Job Description

The UCSF Advanced Lung Disease and Lung Transplant Research Program oversees human subjects-based research operations in end-stage non-malignant lung diseases and lung transplantation. Dr. Hays, a Professor of Medicine and Director of the Lung Transplant Program, is a PI in the UCSF ALD and LT Research Program and conducts clinical trials within this program.

The Program functions within the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, Allergy and Sleep Medicine in the Department of Medicine. Under direct supervision of the Principal Investigator (Steven Hays) this position will perform entry level duties related to the support and coordination of clinical studies and may receive training and development to prepare and advance for journey-level work at the next level within the series.

The Research Coordinator will support and assist with coordinating several ongoing studies focused on patient centered outcomes in lung transplantation and advanced lung disease. The incumbent will learn how to and assist the PI and research coordinators with identification, enrollment, registration of subjects, administer structured surveys; under direct supervision, perform discrete, validated physical assessment batteries, observe spirometry (a test of lung function), data abstraction from electronic or paper medical records and data entry into clinical databases. Further training include how to collect and transport biologic samples (blood and lung lavage fluid) to collaborating laboratories for labeling, processing, storage, and shipping to collaborators. In addition, for ongoing multi-center collaborations, duties are like those described above but also include interacting and coordinating with research coordinators and PIs at other centers. Under direct supervision, this entry level position will learn about informed consent and discrete physical assessment tests, how to administer structured surveys, and process stipends for patients with lung transplant participating in clinical trials. Under direct supervision and guidance of the PI, the Research Coordinator will learn how to write/edit study protocols, and submit IRB renewals, and general support of academic activities such as helping draft tables and figures for scientific abstracts and manuscripts.

The final salary and offer components are subject to additional approvals based on UC policy.
