OPEN RANK Research Services Intermediate or Senior Professional

The C3 Global Trauma Network conducts innovative, collaborative, federally-funded trauma care research, predominantly in high-trauma international settings. A variety of rigorous observational and interventional methodologies are used to fill contemporary clinical knowledge gaps. The C3 Network seeks to generate high quality evidence to enhance early trauma (injury) care, with a special focus on improving patient outcomes in resource-constrained settings (e.g., in South Africa). The C3 Network has a track record of NIH and U.S. Department of Defense funding, including dozens of published peer-reviewed manuscripts and scientific presentations. Our research also deliberately seeks to fill clinical and scientific gaps for civilians worldwide and the U.S. military.

The candidate will assume the role of Research Services Professional within a highly collaborative and exciting multi-disciplinary team located in the USA and South Africa.

Intermediate Clinical Science Professionals perform clinical research related functions which may include patient-oriented research or research conducted with human subjects. Patient-oriented research includes mechanisms of human disease, therapeutic interventions, clinical trials, or development of new technologies. Intermediate Clinical Science Professionals may also assist with epidemiologic and behavioral studies and/or outcomes research and health services research.

Senior Clinical Science Professionals perform clinical research related functions which may include patient-oriented research or research conducted with human subjects. Patient-oriented research includes mechanisms of human disease, therapeutic interventions, clinical trials, or development of new technologies. Senior Clinical Science Professionals may also assist with epidemiologic and behavioral studies and/or outcomes research and health services research. Some assignments will not move beyond this level.
