University of Washington
Overview
The Division of Metabolism, Endocrinology and Nutrition (MET) invites applications for a Research Coordinator. Housed within UW Medicine Diabetes Institute at the UW South Lake Union campus, the Bjornstad laboratory focuses on metabolic and hemodynamic mechanisms underlying the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and obesity. Position Purpose
The Research Coordinator will manage the development, oversight, and execution of research studies in the Bjornstad program. Under the direction of the Research Manager, with minimal supervision, the RC will work in a fast-paced environment, using resourcefulness, independent problem-solving, excellent time management, attention to detail, and strong prioritization. The RC will collaborate with the Principal Investigator, Co-Investigators, Research Manager, Lead Research Coordinator, other Research Coordinators, collaborators, and study stakeholders to execute studies. Position Complexities
This position requires operational knowledge of the University of Washington, a solid understanding of the research process, diabetic kidney disease, diabetes and obesity, and the ability to integrate this knowledge with research priorities to implement program goals. The Bjornstad laboratory supports a diverse portfolio of clinical studies focusing on DKD and CVD in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and obesity, including early to late phase clinical trials and both drug and device interventional studies. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience as a Research Coordinator in diabetes technology and pharma studies. This position reports to the Research Manager and Lead Research Coordinator.
