POSITION SUMMARY

The recently established Clinical Research Core at the Buck Institute is looking for an organized, detail-oriented, articulate, and motivated Clinical Research Associate / Coordinator to execute the day-to-day logistics and communications required for the successful running of studies, and to process biospecimens and data collected during the study.
