Description The UCLA Department of Family Medicine is seeking a motivated Research Assistant to join a dynamic and fast-paced team of highly experienced primary care physicians and researchers with a passion to improve patient health. Under the direction of the Principal Investigator and Project Manager, this position will primarily support patient recruitment for a PCORI-funded, nationwide multi-year, multi-site clinical trial around acute sinusitis but will also touch on other NIH-funded research projects related to preventive health care for older adults. Responsibilities include developing relationships with and coordinating with clinic staff and providers across multiple primary/urgent care offices to identify eligible patients, recruiting patients to enroll, conducting in-person patient screening, obtaining informed consent, completing participant enrollment procedures, performing participant follow-ups, performing data quality checks, organizing medication deliveries to participants, and sending and tracking participant incentives. Candidates may also need to meet with patients outside of the clinic to perform enrollment procedures. Candidates will also be responsible for regular communication with the study team, reporting in team meetings about recruitment progress, identification of strategies to improve recruitment, and participation in larger team calls with all participating sites. Candidates may also be asked to prepare monthly reminder call schedules, meeting agendas, develop written protocols and maintain FAQ documents. Other tasks may include generating figures for reports, coding and analyzing semi-structured interviews using qualitative analysis software, managing data, and reviewing the scientific literature. This position also will perform miscellaneous administrative duties related to research, such as scheduling, taking meeting notes, and coordination and verification of transcriptions. Please note that this is a full time one year limited position and may convert to career. Salary Range: $36.37 – $58.52/Hourly
