* Coordinating with internal and external entities to establish contracts and agreements, and development of marketing materials.
* Study management including database development, implementation, quality control, and support. Preference toward experience with existing internal Penn State HMC software (e.g., REDCap).
* Familiarity with quantitative and qualitative analysis software (e.g., SPSS, SAS, NVivo), and statistical analysis methods and report preparation; advanced Microsoft Word, Excel, and Adobe Creative Cloud functions; familiarity with the University’s Strategic Information Management System (SIMS) and accounting procedures and systems (SIMBA) for reporting and budgets.

* Excellent writing skills, able to aid development and writing of literature reviews, IRB protocols, manuscripts and grants; demonstrated authorship of scientific, peer-reviewed publications is a plus.

Candidates should be able to work independently and have excellent organizational, interpersonal, and written and verbal communication skills, the ability to work in a team environment, and the ability to contribute to FCM’s missions.  Familiarity with the Microsoft Office suite of programs, descriptive statistics, and Penn State COM IRB are preferred.
