Clinical Research Coordinator - Center of Early Detection & Interception Solid Tumor

Building upon Dana‑Farber’s deep experience in early cancer detection and treatment, we’ve created a robust, integrated clinical/research program – Centers for Early Detection and Interception. This program brings together Dana‑Farber’s expert clinicians and researchers across all cancer types, working together in a unified, multi‑disciplinary effort that will accelerate progress in early cancer detection and interception. Through this effort, we will help stop cancer earlier, saving more lives, and improving the quality of life for all of those affected by cancer.

The Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) will be an integral part of the Center of Early Detection & Interception clinical research program and lead recruitment for our research studies on the Longwood campus. The role supports the research team in the execution of clinical trials in accordance with Good Clinical Practice and will operate under guidance of the Principal Investigator(s), the DFCI Clinical Trials Office, and the Clinical Research Director.

The CRC will lead patient recruitment and consenting efforts, provide timely entry of study data into clinical trials management software, screen for protocol eligibility, and obtain consent from patients for industry‑sponsored and biobanking studies. It also involves collecting, compiling, and managing patient clinical information, ensuring prompt collection and shipment of protocol‑related samples to external entities, maintaining regulatory binders, and assuring study compliance with all state, federal, and IRB mandates.

The CRC will also register study participants to clinical trials.

Fluency in English and Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, or Haitian Creole is strongly preferred to support effective communication and engagement with participants.
