Health Services Research Coordinator

Older adults undergoing emergency surgery are at a high risk of developing delirium and subsequently suffering from a cluster of cognitive, physical and psychological issues.

You will have the opportunity to work with a smart and passionate group of research staff on a wide range of tasks that span the full lifespan of a research study, including but not limited to screening surgery patients for eligibility, performing consent discussions in a clinical setting with eligible patients, administering neurocognitive assessments to study participants and collecting and storing sensitive study data, including protected health information.
