Job Description

We seek a talented and motivated Clinical Research Coordinator to assist in conducting a new NIH-funded interdisciplinary study at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in the areas of women’s mental health and psychoneuroendocrinology.

The Clinical Research Coordinator is an entry or mid-level human subjects researcher, responsible for conducting and assisting in human subjects research studies under the supervision of the Principal Investigator, Dr. Julie Spicer, and her collaborators at the Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology at Mount Sinai.

Performing phlebotomy and traveling locally by public transportation for offsite study sessions are required. Additionally, the individual will assist in the preparation and submission of applications (e.g., Institutional Review Board, Grants and Contracts Office), research articles for publication, and data to meet archiving requirements.

The majority of the individual’s time and effort will be allocated to conducting the funded study as described above, but the individual also will assist with other ongoing lab projects as needed. The position provides an excellent opportunity for training and can serve as a stepping stone to graduate school, medical school or residency, but it can also provide a long-term opportunity to work as a laboratory scientist. Candidates who can make at least two full years of commitment to this project are strongly preferred.

Candidates should have excellent interpersonal skills, work well in a team, and have an interest in women’s health, endocrinology, or mood disorders. Candidates should also be organized, able to troubleshoot or problem-solve, and capable of meeting deadlines with fast turnaround. Please note this is not a hybrid position, and in-person office hours are required to work with study participants and research team members. Additionally, office hours must be flexible to accommodate early morning or evening visits for some study participants.
