Clinical Research Coordinator Senior​/Intermediate

Cardiovascular Medicine Clinical Research Coordinator

The Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Michigan is expanding a nationally and internationally funded research program at the cutting edge of cardiovascular medicine. Led by Drs. Venkatesh Murthy and Sascha Goonewardena - whose work has appeared in leading journals including NEJM AI, JAMA, and Circulation - the program fuses artificial intelligence, advanced cardiac imaging, multiomics (proteomics, metabolomics, and genomics), and cardiometabolic disease biology to develop precision diagnostics and identify novel therapeutic approaches, with a particular focus on coronary microvascular disease and other cardiovascular conditions that disproportionately affect women and remain poorly served by existing diagnostic tools.

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-impact, well-funded program doing science that matters.

This position serves as the primary clinical research coordinator for the program, providing the regulatory and participant-facing infrastructure that connects patients to data and science. The Senior CRC will lead study start-up and ongoing regulatory management, coordinate participant recruitment and study visits for the program's cardiovascular biorepository, oversee data collection and REDCap operations, and mentor the Intermediate CRC. This position requires CRC Advisory Committee review and approval prior to posting per Michigan Medicine policy.

This position may be underfilled at the CRC-Intermediate title based on selected candidates’ qualifications and the review and approval of the Michigan Medicine CRC Governance Board.

Contribution to the development of process and tools in all 8 competency domains is expected:

• Scientific Concepts and Research Design
• Ethical Participant Safety Considerations
• Investigational Products Development and Regulation
• Clinical Study Operations (GCPs)
• Study and Site Management
