As a not-for-profit organization, Mass General Brigham is committed to supporting patient care, research, teaching, and service to the community.  We place great value on being a diverse, equitable and inclusive organization as we aim to reflect the diversity of the patients we serve.

At Mass General Brigham, we believe a diverse set of backgrounds and lived experiences makes us stronger by challenging our assumptions with new perspectives that can drive revolutionary discoveries in medical innovations in research and patient care. Therefore, we invite and welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups in healthcare — people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ community, and/or gender expansive, first and second-generation immigrants, veterans, and people from different socioeconomic backgrounds – to apply.

 

The Center for Rare Neurological Diseases at Massachusetts General Hospital seeks an exceptional candidate for this Clinical Research Coordinator position to implement and coordinate a variety of human research studies, ranging from natural history studies to translational/interventional trials. We focus on single gene disorders where a single gene defect is sufficient to cause disability and suffering. The Center for Rare Neurological Diseases seeks to implement strategies, create partnerships that advance treatments for rare diseases and thereby serve the many unmet needs in the community. The clinical research coordinator will receive training and support from current study staff, as well as guidance and supervision of the Principal Investigator. We seek an enthusiastic candidate who is eager to work collaboratively with other study staff, physician mentors, industry partners, nonprofit advocacy groups, and especially our patients with rare diseases. The position offers significant learning opportunities, the chance to work directly with research subjects during study visits, and exposure to the implementation of a research protocol from start to finish. Our research coordinators are involved in every step of this process, from initial study design to coordination of study visits, data collection, correspondence with the IRB and study sponsors, and eventually data analysis. The ideal candidate is eager to learn, detail-oriented, passionate, and a great team player.
