School of Medicine

Established in 1930, Duke University School of Medicine is the youngest of the nation's top medical schools. Ranked sixth among medical schools in the nation, the School takes pride in being an inclusive community of outstanding learners, investigators, clinicians, and staff where interdisciplinary collaboration is embraced and great ideas accelerate translation of fundamental scientific discoveries to improve human health locally and around the globe.

Composed of more than 2,600 faculty physicians and researchers, nearly 2,000 students, and more than 6,200 staff, the Duke University School of Medicine along with the Duke University School of Nursing, and Duke University Health System comprise Duke Health, a world-class academic medical center. The Health System encompasses Duke University Hospital, Duke Regional Hospital, Duke Raleigh Hospital, Duke Health Integrated Practice, Duke Primary Care, Duke Home Care and Hospice, Duke Health and Wellness, and multiple affiliations.

You will provide leadership and coordination for multiple, complex oncology clinical trials—including investigational products (IP)—within the Duke Cancer Institute’s Brain Tumor Clinical Research Program (BTC). You’ll collaborate with the Oncology Clinical Research Unit (CRU), Principal Investigators (PIs), sponsors, and study teams to ensure feasibility, compliance, and participant-centered care. Daily, you will recruit and consent participants, conduct study visits, maintain regulatory documentation, and troubleshoot challenges to keep studies on track.

Your work spans operations, site management, communication, data integrity, leadership, and ethics. If you thrive in complex neuro-oncology research, enjoy mentoring others, and want to advance breakthrough therapies for brain tumor patients, this role is for you.
