Position Overview
Essential Job Duties
The Translational Research in Pain (TRiP) Program is a clinical and basic research program that works to improve pain control in veterinary species and humans, through comparative research. The selected candidate will work under the direct guidance of Dr. Duncan Lascelles, a translational pain researcher, veterinarian and Specialist in Small Animal Surgery. The selected candidate will work with team members including 2-3 graduate students; 2 Veterinarian Research Assistants; 2 Research Specialist Technicians; undergraduate students. Close on-site faculty collaborators include Drs. Santosh Mishra (neurobiologist and itch researcher with particular expertise in mouse modeling), Margaret Gruen (veterinarian, Specialist in Behavior, pain researcher) and Mike Nolan (Radiation Oncologist and cancer/pain researcher).
The selected candidate will also work closely with the Clinical Studies Core ( CSC ) and/or Laboratory Animal Resources ( LAR ). The CSC and LAR in the College of Veterinary Medicine are designed to facilitate veterinary studies being performed through the College of Veterinary Medicine. The CSC / LAR provides organizational and technical support for such studies, and serves as a liaison between investigators, referring veterinarians/sponsors to promote studies and helps ensure their success.
This Internship provides a unique opportunity for a motivated individual to learn about clinical research through hands-on experience, working with a team of highly specialized clinical faculty and researchers.
Day to day training will be given by the TRiP and CSC technicians, Dr. Lascelles and Dr. Enomoto. This training will include methods of patient recruitment, general and specialized examinations, specialized diagnostic procedures, sample collection and processing, tracking samples, data entry and verification, use of electronic data capture, basic statistical analysis, writing project reports, communicating with sponsors, presentation of project updates and reports, manuscript preparation.
The exact training the intern will be exposed to will be dependent on the clinical studies being run. Training will also include a series of didactic lectures on performing clinical research. Specific training in Good Clinical Practice will be provided. Attendance at all the NCSU Intern Seminars and Rounds will be mandatory.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Specific duties will include assistance with study publicity and recruitment, review of patient records to determine study eligibility, performing physical examinations, performing specialized examinations (e.g. orthopedic, neurological; ophthalmological), coordinating and collecting samples on patients as required by study protocol, evaluation of any owner compiled logs for accuracy and completeness, providing clients and referring veterinarians with follow-up regarding results of patient visits, communicating regularly with principal investigators on study status, and providing necessary data to principal investigators at required time points based on study protocol. Many studies will require compliance with Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Work may also involve clinically relevant studies using research animals – looking after the daily needs of the animals, assisting with surgery and patient care following surgery, performing examinations, data/sample collection and data organization.
Other Work/Responsibilities
There will be time allotted to rotations in relevant areas (pertaining to ongoing studies, e.g. surgery, neurology, oncology) and mentoring by senior clinicians in those areas who are also leaders in clinical research in their fields.
