Clinical Research Coordinator

Massachusetts General Hospital

About the Role

The Clinical Research Coordinator for Translational Neurorecovery is primarily responsible for the performance of clinical research in the Laboratory for Translational Neurorecovery. These responsibilities include the careful execution and documentation of research evaluating recovery for people with stroke and other forms of neurologic injury.

Requirements

  • Recruit participants into neurorecovery- and neurotechnology- focused research studies.

  • Obtain informed consent forms from research participants.

  • Learn, perform, and carefully document standardized clinical assessments of motor recovery.

  • Arrange, schedule, and perform daily research sessions, requiring careful coordination and regular interaction with persons with stroke, care teams, and families/caregivers. These research sessions occur at MGH and collaborating institutions.

  • Learn and perform kinematic assessments of motor recovery using inertial sensors and robotics.

  • Learn and perform basic neuroimaging (structural MRI) analyses.

  • Learn and help with recording electroencephalography (EEG) using custom technology and software for assessment of motor recovery.

  • Learn and help with the performance of non-invasive neurostimulation (i.e. transcranial magnetic stimulation) for analysis of motor recovery.

  • Act as a study resource for patients and families.

  • Contribute to research protocol recommendations

  • Call participants in-between research sessions to check-in with ongoing research participation.

  • Monitor and maintain research data, patient files, regulatory binders and study databases.

  • Perform supervised data analysis.

  • Work closely with lab PI and lab members in the Laboratory for Translational Neurorecovery.

  • Assist with other neurorecovery and neurotechnology research projects.

  • Attend regular lab meetings (in person or by videoconference).

·       Enhance web presence for research.

The MGH Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery (CNTR) develops, tests, and deploys novel neurotechnologies to improve the care of people suffering from diseases or injuries of the nervous system.
