The Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator, under the supervision of the PI, will have the opportunity to delve into cutting-edge research on The Active Mind Clinical Trial, as well as contribute to research projects aimed at developing new diagnostic and treatment approaches to Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias. The Active Mind Trial is a multi-site study, with UCSF being one of the 4 sites. The assistant CRC will be responsible for maintaining and recruiting for an interventional study examining the effect of cognitive training for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), including running full day visits for participants enrolled in the study, and ensuring adherence to training exercises remains high. The assistant CRC will also help contribute to a longitudinal study of over 500 cognitively normal adults, as well as subprojects examining the impact of vascular disease and inflammation on cognition in healthy aging, MCI, and Alzheimer’s disease. Assistant CRC duties will include (but are not limited to) data entry and data management, scheduling/recruitment of participants, CHR/IRB upkeep, and managing the day-to-day function of the projects.

Applicants should have a strong interest in neuroscience, solid research experience, comfort working with human subjects, and excellent organizational skills. The candidate will be involved in gathering a wide variety of research data, with particular emphasis on generating datasets and reports based on Qualtrics, REDCap, preparing questionnaires, participating in data collection, and setting up the surveys conducted by the PI or CRC. Interested parties should include a cover letter describing their background and why they would be a good fit for this project.
