At Mass General Brigham, we know it takes a surprising range of talented professionals to advance our mission—from doctors, nurses, business people and tech experts, to dedicated researchers and systems analysts. 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 incidence of food allergy and food-mediated disorders continues to rise in the US. For example, more than 1% of the US population now suffers from peanut allergy, where exposure to peanut allergen may trigger a severe reaction. Currently, the clinical treatment of IgE-mediated food allergies is limited to allergen avoidance and emergency epinephrine treatment. In the FAC, we are committed to investigating the underlying pathways and potential therapies for food allergy. There are multiple clinical trials on food allergy in the FAC, investigating cutaneous immunotherapy, defining threshold minimum doses, and defining biomarkers of allergic disease.
The primary focus of this position is to coordinate clinical trials. The research coordinator would be expected to provide all aspects of protocol management, including screening for patient eligibility, data collection, ensuring protocol compliance, adverse drug reaction reports, monitoring subject treatment, laboratory and specimen submission, and maintenance of accurate and complete clinical research files.
Candidates for this position should have a strong interest in clinical research and patient care. This position would be ideal for those candidates interested in gaining significant experience in medical research and considering future medical or graduate studies. To that end, though not formerly within the expected scope of the position, the successful candidate will be encouraged to and supported seeking educational opportunities and academic productivity.
