Clinical Research Coordinator (Non-R.N.)
Salt Lake City, United States
The Sleep and Circadian Physiology Laboratory (PI: Christopher Depner) in the Department of Health and Kinesiology is recruiting a full-time Clinical Research Coordinator to help conduct an NIH funded study focused on sleep loss and cardiometabolic health outcomes. The study this position will primarily focus on is testing how experimental sleep loss and circadian misalignment impact food intake and insulin sensitivity (risk factor for diabetes) in adults. Our findings will help develop new sleep and circadian-based interventions that help prevent cardiometabolic disease (obesity, diabetes, heart disease) in populations such as shift workers, medical and military personnel, students, and first-responders. The position will be primarily responsible for executing study visits, participant recruitment, scheduling study visits, communicating with participants, assisting with data collection, and training and supervising undergraduate research assistants and hourly staff. May assist in blood sample collection by venipuncture or through existing peripheral IV catheter. Study visits will take place in clinical research settings at the University of Utah Hospital and the College of Health Research Complex. The study protocol involves participants living in the sleep laboratory for 24 hours per day, 6 days at a time. Therefore, depending on scheduling of study visits, about 25% to 75% of study shifts per month for this position will be required overnight shifts. Timing of other hours will be flexible.

We protect our patients, coworkers and community by requiring all patient-sensitive employees to be immunized according to CDC standards and hospital policy. Limited exemptions may be made for documented medical contraindications or religious beliefs that object to vaccinations.
