Clinical Research Coordinator (Non-R.N.)

Neuromechanics and Applied Locomotion Laboratory, University of Utah

The Neuromechanics and Applied Locomotion Laboratory at the University of Utah is hiring a Clinical Research Coordinator to assist with ongoing funded research examining balance and mobility, particularly in people with mild traumatic brain injuries (i.e., concussions). The candidate will work on several federally‑funded and foundation‑funded projects with Dr. Peter Fino and collaborators, interacting on a regular basis with volunteer research subjects, physical therapists, engineers, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty from various campus departments, and with research teams across the country.

This position is patient‑sensitive and must fulfill all associated vaccination requirements, or be approved for an exemption, prior to the first day of work. We protect our patients, coworkers, and community by requiring all patient‑sensitive employees to be immunized according to CDC standards and hospital policy. Limited exemptions may be made for documented medical contraindications or religious beliefs that object to vaccinations.
