• Specifics: The Clinical Research Coordinator I will support multiple oncology-focused lifestyle and behavioral research studies conducted in collaboration with cancer clinics and multidisciplinary teams across Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

This position involves driving between clinical sites to meet participants at the time of their scheduled medical appointments. Flexible work hours are required to accommodate participant availability, including early mornings or late afternoons depending on clinic schedules and patient needs. Primary responsibilities include identifying and screening potential participants, obtaining informed consent, conducting in-person and remote follow-up visits, and coordinating protocol-specific data collection procedures across multiple active studies.

The Clinical Research Coordinator I serves as a key liaison between participants, investigators, clinic staff, interventionists, and research team members to ensure protocol requirements are completed accurately and within required timelines. This individual is responsible for maintaining participant engagement throughout study participation, resolving routine operational issues, facilitating communication across teams, and supporting day-to-day study implementation activities. The CRC I will assist with coordination of clinic operations across multiple active studies, including participant tracking, visit planning, maintenance of study logs, preparation of study materials, management of protocol-specific workflows, and completion of project-related tasks that support efficient research operations. Strong organizational skills, independent task management, and proactive communication are essential to ensure smooth study execution and high-quality data collection.
