UTS - Temporary Clinical Research Manager at UNC Chapel Hill

Posting Details

Position Information Posting Number PG194576TM Position Number 48AJ25 Position Type Temporary Essential Job Duties The UNC Institute for Trauma Recovery has two overarching goals.

The first goal is to increase understanding of how adverse posttraumatic neuropsychiatric sequelae (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder, pain, depression, and other somatic symptoms) develop after traumatic stress exposure (e.

g., motor vehicle collision, military deployment, sexual assault). The second goal is to use this knowledge to develop and test interventions that prevent these outcomes.

Our primary strategy to achieve these goals is to recruit and retain outstanding, talented, self-motivated staff, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty who are passionate about improving the lives of individuals who have experienced trauma.

The Institute for Trauma Recovery invites applications for a Clinical Research Manager to help advance this mission.

The Clinical Research Manager will work under the direction of the Institute Director and Institute Managing Director and with other institute leaders to plan the activities of the institute, be responsible for a broad range of duties related to planning, organizing, executing, and monitoring the implementation of new and existing clinical trials and research initiatives, and oversee clinical trial activities.

These duties include, but are not limited to, contributing to strategic planning, leading grant submissions, and overseeing project start-up, conduct, and close-out.

This position will also supervise and manage other staff and graduate and undergraduate students.
