Job Description

General Summary:

The AMP Lab (sites.northwestern.edu/amplab/) at Lurie Children's Hospital is seeking a Behavioral Research Coordinator I to join our dynamic team conducting research that supports heart health across generations—from mothers and babies to teenagers. Our NIH-funded studies use innovative virtual methods including surveys, video-based measurement sessions, and electronic health record data to reach families where they are, rather than requiring in-person visits. As a coordinator, you'll have genuine ownership over projects—not just recruitment and protocol management, but creative work like developing videos, animations, and participant materials; designing efficient processes; collaborating across teams; and communicating directly with participants. We conduct mixed methods research spanning epidemiology, intervention development, and behavioral clinical trials, which means varied skills and talents flourish here. We're looking for someone who is highly organized, effective, and a do-er—someone who thrives with autonomy and varied responsibilities. Our core values are compassion (for families and each other), ownership (you'll drive projects forward), and rigor with reproducibility (we take our science seriously). If you're energized by meaningful work, creative problem-solving, and research that can genuinely improve family health outcomes, we'd love to hear from you.

Essential Job Functions:

• Assists with behavioral research projects, including study start-up, protocol coordination, and close-out activities.

• Maintains adherence to study protocols and regulatory standards.

• Coordinates with other departments to ensure effective implementation of research projects.

• Supports the development, implementation, and tracking of studies with minimal supervision.

• Assists with the preparation of protocols, informed consents, recruitment materials, modifications, renewals, and maintains study documentation via regulatory binders.

• Identifies, recruits, and guides eligible study participants through the informed consent/assent process.

• Assists in delivering behavioral interventions and arranging study visits; provide instructions to participants and their families.

• Abstracts data from medical records and enter it into case report forms and electronic systems such as REDCap; prepares data for analysis.

• Creates and updates research-related forms, templates, and assists in managing participant reimbursements.

• Conducts literature searches, assists with QA/QC procedures, and tracks deadlines for grants and deliverables while adhering to research protocols and compliance regulations.

• Promotes the ethical conduct of research by actively participating in research related educational meetings/conferences.

• Other job functions as assigned.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Bachelor’s degree required. A combination of education and/or experience may be considered in lieu of the degree when the experience is directly related to the duties of the job.

• Good organizational skills.

• Good verbal and written communications skills.

• Some knowledge of FDA, HSR, and GCP Guidelines.

• Proficient analytical skills with the ability to remain agile and adaptable to various technological systems.
