Full Time
| As a UW employee, you have a unique opportunity to change lives on our campuses, in our state and around the world. UW employees offer their boundless energy, creative problem solving skills and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world. UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty. All of which has allowed the UW to be nationally recognized as a “Great College to Work For” for six consecutive years. The new Brotman Baty Institute for Precision Medicine (BBI) operates at the intersection of cutting edge technology development and medicine. The BBI acts as a bridge between the University of Washington, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Seattle Children’s Hospital, among other partners. The BBI contributes to research in medical genetics, cancer biology, infectious disease and technology development, and supports other institutions and studies with diverse aims. The BBI also supports work performed by the Seattle Flu Study (SFS) and the Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network (SCAN) to understand the introduction, transmission and dynamics of respiratory pathogens within Seattle. The BBI Logistics organization’s vision is to enable researchers to achieve their study aims by providing logistics-as-a-service, encompassing a wide range of operational activities at high quality and lower costs than individual studies would otherwise be able to achieve on their own. The BBI is hiring a Research Coordinator for Logistics Operations to design and lead the integration of new research and clinical studies into the BBI Logistics infrastructure, improving key operational and participant experience study metrics and tackling difficult problems related to study logistics. This is a full-time (40 hr. per week) position. It is salaried and overtime exempt. PRIMARY JOB RESPONSIBILITIES Primary job responsibilities for this position fall into two “pillars,” (1) Implementation and (2) Optimization. Research Study Implementation (50%) includes the initial evaluation of planned BBI research studies, designing an operational model for the study, developing requirements for implementation within the BBI Logistics infrastructure as well as managing through the implementation phase. Research Study Optimization (50%) The optimization pillar revolves around tackling hard-to-solve operations and/or customer experience problems such as optimizing laboratory throughput and/or analyzing and eliminating key participant friction points. Often, this will begin with the difficult up-front work of clearly defining the problem to the satisfaction of all stakeholders such that it can be strategically broken down into achievable sub-goals. After this step, an action plan will be developed that clearly defines milestones and finally, the project will be executed by the Research Coordinator, including general project management and obtaining buy-in from various stakeholders. Within the two pillars, specific tasks include: REQUIREMENTS ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: Equivalent education/experience will substitute for all minimum qualifications except where there are legal requirements such as license/certification/registration. DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS Working Environmental Conditions May include office or remote work, local travel to partner organizations, as well as visits to clinical and research study sites and sample collection areas testing for the virus that causes COVID-19 and other respiratory pathogens, and other future research or clinical study sites. Schedule Information We anticipate this position to average 40 hours per week. General operating hours are 7 am to 8 pm, Monday - Sunday. This position may include occasional evenings and weekends. Your schedule will be determined in collaboration with your supervisor, depending on business needs. Application Process: The application process for UW positions may include completion of a variety of online assessments to obtain additional information that will be used in the evaluation process. These assessments may include Work Authorization, Cover Letter and/or others. Any assessments that you need to complete will appear on your screen as soon as you select “Apply to this position”. Once you begin an assessment, it must be completed at that time; if you do not complete the assessment you will be prompted to do so the next time you access your “My Jobs” page. If you select to take it later, it will appear on your "My Jobs" page to take when you are ready. Please note that your application will not be reviewed, and you will not be considered for this position until all required assessments have been completed. | |||
