** Department
* * BSD IPP - MOSAAIC
** About the Department
** The Institute for Population and Precision Health (IPPH), located in the Biological Sciences Division, integrates a wide spectrum of factors such as human health behaviors, environmental factors, social and economic factors, policies and genetic determinants of health, into studies focused on the treatment and prevention of disease, as well as the maintenance of wellness. Leveraging and integrating the University of Chicago’s considerable institutional strength in population science with research spanning diverse fields such as genetic medicine, cancer epidemiology, microbiome, and epigenomics, the Institute will have the common goal of improving human health outcomes.

Another major goal of the Institute will be to develop a new multidisciplinary training program to equip researchers with emerging tools and methods to conduct precision health research within a population health framework. Our faculty lead research projects in biostatistics, epidemiology and health services research and participate in interdisciplinary teams with faculty in other departments to address complex problems in health and healthcare, in our communities and around the globe.
** Job Summary
** The University of Chicago's Institute for Population and Precision Health (IPPH) is seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator 2 to support its portfolio of federally funded population health research, with a primary focus on the Multi-ethnic Observational Study in American Asian and Pacific Islander Communities (MOSAAIC) — a landmark NHLBI-funded epidemiological cohort study aimed at addressing critical gaps in cardiovascular, metabolic, pulmonary, and mental health research for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities.
The University of Chicago serves as one of five national clinical and community field centers for MOSAAIC, with a goal of enrolling 2,000 Chicago-area participants through community-based outreach, mobile data collection, clinical phenotyping, and biospecimen collection. The study collects data across a broad range of health domains, including heart health, diabetes, lung health, and mental health, as well as social determinants of health such as environmental exposures and access to care.

The Clinical Research Coordinator 2 will support the full research lifecycle across this and related IPPH studies — including participant recruitment and retention, IRB compliance, data and specimen collection, quality control, and milestone reporting — working closely with Scientific Directors and the Research Manager to advance research that promotes health equity and reduces disparities in historically underrepresented populations.
This at-will position is wholly or partially funded by contractual grant funding which is renewed under provisions set by the grantor of the contract. Employment will be contingent upon the continued receipt of these grant funds and satisfactory job performance.
** Responsibilities
* ** Coordination and quality control management for observational and interventional, including both clinic and community-based studies, within the Institute for Population and Precision Health.
* Support operational execution of multi-institutional and some international studies, many of which are federally funded or funded by pharmaceutical sponsors.
* Oversee the collection of clinical data, survey data, environmental data, and associated samples and biospecimens.
* Manage IRB submissions, amendments, and continuing reviews; develop and refine data collection instruments; enforce implementation accuracy and…
