The Arkansas Children's Research Institute will be hiring a Research Program Manager for the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases.
We are seeking individuals with a relevant scientific background and excellent communication skills to lead our Respiratory Microbiome research program. Our team conducts innovative clinical, translational (i.e. using human samples), and basic science research to ask fundamental questions about how the complex microbial communities of the respiratory tract influence respiratory infection susceptibility and severity among children. While not required, ideal candidates will have an advanced degree (Master's degree or PhD), knowledge of laboratory-based sciences, publications in peer-reviewed journals, and some prior exposure to computational analyses relevant to the microbiome and microbial genomics. In addition, excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential. The individual in this position will work under the direction of the PI, Dr. Matthew Kelly (Section Chief, Pediatric Infectious Diseases), and will regularly interact with clinical research staff, laboratory personnel, colleagues and collaborators at the Arkansas Children's Research Institute and other institutions, as well as graduate students and medical residents and fellows receiving training through the research program.
Duties will include but are not limited to: project management and oversight, grant writing and editing, manuscript writing and editing, assistance with regulatory activities related to the research program, participation in financial reconciliation and budgetary meetings, website development in collaboration with the PI, and supervision of other members of the research program to include clinical research staff, laboratory technicians, post-doctoral researchers, students, and other trainees. In addition, there will be opportunities to attend relevant scientific meetings, facilitate social media engagement, and assist with community engagement and fundraising efforts for the research program.
While this position will not involve direct patient contact, human subjects research training will be required due to the need to manage data and biospecimens collected from study participants.
Current projects include:
•BRAVE Kids Study: NIH R01-funded project focused on SARS-CoV-2 infections in children
•Host-microbe interactions in a novel SARS-CoV-2 human challenge model: NIH R21 and American Lung Association-funded project that is performing a multi-omic analysis using previously collected samples
•Microbial ecology in the human upper respiratory tract: NIH R21-funded project that is studying microbial interactions of relevance to colonization and infection by bacterial respiratory pathogens
•Evaluation of a nasal probiotic candidate in an infant non-human primate model: pilot study being conducted in collaboration with the California National Primate Research Center
•Whole-genome sequencing for surveillance of hospital-acquired infections
•Other studies in development are focused on routes of community transmission of RSV and use of deep metagenomic sequencing to evaluate for Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage in children
