The LATE-TBI Lab at Spaulding Rehabilitation is seeking a Clinical Research Coordinator II to support studies examining the acute and long-term effects of blast exposure and traumatic brain injury in military populations. The lab focuses on conditions such as CTE, ALS, and interface astrogliosis, with a goal of developing new diagnostics and treatments to improve recovery and HealthSpan. The CRC II will oversee study operations, including recruitment, data collection, IRB management, regulatory reporting, and community engagement, across both the LATE-TBI Lab and the Rehabilitation Outcomes Center. A bachelor's degree is required, with preference for candidates experienced in clinical research, rehabilitation, and neurologic conditions.
Overview: We are recruiting a highly motivated individual with a passion for rehabilitation research to serve as a Clinical Research Coordinator II (CRC II) in the Long-term Assessment and Treatment Exploration for TBI (LATE-TBI) Lab at Spaulding Rehabilitation. The LATE-TBI Lab seeks to understand how athletic exposure to repeated traumatic brain injuries may cause problems both acutely and later in life. Specifically, the LATE-TBI researches the immediate effects of concussions in sports, as well as the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI), including chronic and neurodegenerative diseases, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In addition, research seeks to identify factors associated with recovery and HealthSpan following injury. This work aims to bridge the gap between bench and bedside, with the ultimate goal of developing effective treatments for TBI associated disease. We aim to identify novel diagnostic strategies and therapeutic targets to improve the lives of individuals affected by CTE, ALS, and other conditions associated with repeated TBI. The LATE-TBI lab is directed by Daniel Daneshvar, MD, PhD, Chief of Brain Injury Rehabilitation in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School. The CRC II will be working on several studies within the LATE-TBI Lab as well as at the Rehabilitation Outcomes Center at Spaulding (ROCS), where Dr. Daneshvar serves as Director of Training. The CRC II will be responsible for the day-to-day study operations, including management and oversight of recruitment and data collection activities, preparation and management of IRB actions, data quality assurance, preparation of agendas for meetings, management of regulatory documents, and communication and reporting to PI, study team, and funding sources.
