Department: 480502 - UHR UTS/UNC Partnership

Location: Chapel Hill, NC

Essential Job Duties:

The UNC Institute for Trauma Recovery (https://www.med.unc.edu/itr/) has two overarching goals. The first goal is to increase understanding of how adverse posttraumatic neuropsychiatric sequelae (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder, pain, depression, and other somatic symptoms) develop after traumatic stress exposure (e.g., motor vehicle collision, military deployment, sexual assault). The second goal is to use this knowledge to develop and test interventions that prevent these outcomes. Our primary strategy to achieve these goals is to recruit and retain outstanding, talented, self-motivated staff, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty who are passionate about improving the lives of individuals who have experienced trauma. The Institute for Trauma Recovery invites applications for a Clinical Research Manager to help advance this mission.

Other Work/Responsibilities:

The Clinical Research Manager will work under the direction of the Institute Director, Institute Managing Director, and Clinical Research Director on a broad range of duties related to planning, organizing, executing, and monitoring the implementation of new and existing trials and research initiatives.

They provide supervision and oversight for staff, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.

These duties include, but are not limited to, managing all aspects of project start-up, conduct, and close-out, including study design and the development of study procedures, training study team members, coordinating projects, organizing communications and meetings, managing regulatory activities (e.g., IRB submissions, modifications, and renewals), and assisting with grant submissions. This position will be responsible for the supervision of junior coordinators, research assistants, and students working under them on many projects. They will be able to fulfill these duties independently.

Finally, the Research Manager will be responsible for study administrative duties and budgetary activities.
