- Project Coordinator - Center for Weight and Eating Disorders
- Job Code: 091027444
Hiring Entity: University of Pennsylvania
Salary Grade: 27
The Center for Weight and Eating Disorders is looking for a Project Coordinator for new clinical trial. The project coordinator position is funded by a two-year challenge grant. The primary endpoint of the study is diabetes remission in patients who have either undergone either bariatric surgery, lapband or an intensive lifestyle modification program (to lose weight). It's a pilot study, with only 32 subjects but we are anticipating that recruitment will be very difficult. The subjects must be willing to be randomized to one of the 3 treatments: gastric bypass surgery, lap band, or intensive diet treatment. They must also be medically appropriate and be approved for surgery by their insurance carrier. The recruitment process may involve going to occasional bariatric informational sessions which occur in the evening. The assessment visits will occur early in the morning (as early as 6:30am). Therefore the project coordinator will need to be someone who is willing to keep a flexible schedule. Additionally, we are conducting meal challenges and clamp procedures at the GTRC, which are lengthy, and involve multiple blood draws. A PT research tech will be responsible for assisting during these procedures and doing the majority of blood sample preparation and processing. However the project coordinator must supervise the tech and be willing to learn how to prepare the test tubes, process blood samples and fill in when the tech is not available. A lab background or experience would be very helpful for this position.
