GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
We are looking for a hire of a clinical research coordinator interested in colorectal cancer screening, health equity, community health, and social determinants of health to work on a research study funded by the American College of Gastroenterology under the direction of Dr. Adjoa Anyane-Yeboa who is faculty in the Division of Gastroenterology and the Clinical Translational Epidemiology Unit, in the Department of Medicine's Mongan Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital.
The selected candidate will work independently to coordinate clinical research projects under the direct supervision of the principal investigator.
