About the Job
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
The recently established Clinical Research Core at The Buck Institute is looking for an experienced and motivated Clinical Project Manager to coordinate and manage all aspects of complex, multi-component clinical research projects from requirements definition through deployment, identifying schedules, scopes, budget estimations, and implementation plans, including risk mitigation.
The successful candidate will work alongside the Clinical Research Director, Dr Newman, an MD PhD and practicing geriatrician, and Associate Director, Dr Brianna Stubbs PhD, who has > 10 years of experience in clinical research. As clinical research is relatively new and rapidly growing at the Buck, the team is small.
