DEPARTMENT SPECIFICS:

The Clinical Research Coordinator I will support multiple oncology-focused lifestyle and behavioral research studies conducted in collaboration with cancer clinics and multidisciplinary teams across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. This is a primarily clinic-based, participant-facing role that requires regular travel to affiliated hospitals and outpatient oncology practices.

This position involves driving between clinical sites to meet participants at the time of their scheduled medical appointments. Flexible work hours are required to accommodate participant availability, including early mornings or late afternoons depending on clinic schedules and patient needs.

Primary responsibilities include consenting pre-screened participants, conducting in-person and remote follow-up visits, and coordinating protocol-specific data collection procedures across multiple active studies (up to 10 protocols concurrently). Data collection may include questionnaires, physical function assessments (e.g., hand grip strength, sit-to-stand), wearable device placement and education (e.g., activity monitors or continuous glucose monitors), biospecimen coordination, and structured lifestyle interviews.

The CRC I must manage competing priorities in dynamic clinical environments while maintaining strict adherence to protocol and regulatory requirements. Strong organizational skills, independent task tracking, and proactive communication with investigators, clinic staff, and study team members are essential to ensure accurate data collection, participant retention, and smooth study operations.

This role requires comfort working independently in external clinical settings, maintaining professionalism while representing the research program, and reliably traveling between sites throughout South Florida.

The University of Miami offers competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, tuition remission and more.
