This clinical research coordinator position will be at the Cancer Survivorship Research Laboratory, led by Dr. Oxana Palesh, which is in the Department of Psychiatry and Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center at Virginia Commonwealth University. We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated individual with a bachelor's degree in psychology (e.g., clinical, counseling, social, educational), epidemiology, public health, medicine, nursing, or a related social science field with an interest in conducting cancer-related behavioral intervention or observational trials. Individuals from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups are encouraged to apply. Prior research experience or training in behavioral sleep/neuropsychology is a plus, but is not essential. A major focus of the lab is to understand the association between sleep and cancer treatment outcomes. Women's health is another area of research focus. The successful candidate will work as a member of a large, multi-site research team that will evaluate the impact of a behavioral intervention on sleep and be involved in studies evaluating neurocognitive impairment in cancer patients.
Please note that if you are employed as a university employee working in any of the health system's facilities, you will need to follow VCU Health System policies, which will include but will not be limited to, vaccination requirements.
