Research Assistant

ABOUT THE ROLE

This role will assist with the coordination of research in an exciting new environment, with the full backing of a new type of research architecture and a top-tier technology team, challenging the paper-heavy, old-school way that studies are run. This role will require the desire to learn and grow rapidly, and include the opportunity to work closely with Topography's partner healthcare groups. This role will be evaluated on patient experience, protocol management and adherence, and data quality. You will need to be able to thrive with multiple balls in the air, and where independent problem solving is a daily need. You will need to lead with empathy for patients, and care deeply about creating new access to clinical research in communities across the country.
