Overview

Clinical Research Analyst

The Clinical Research Analyst will contribute to a diverse portfolio of clinical research activities spanning study development, regulatory coordination, data acquisition, patient-facing research operations, and scholarly dissemination. This role is designed for a highly motivated individual seeking intensive exposure to translational and patient-oriented clinical research in an academic medical setting.
 

The analyst will develop experience in the design, implementation, and coordination of clinical research protocols, including support for prospective clinical studies and clinical trials. Responsibilities will include regulatory document preparation and Institutional Review Board (IRB) submissions, maintenance of study compliance, detailed medical record review and abstraction, and direct interaction with research participants in accordance with established study protocols. Training in Human Subjects Research, HIPAA compliance, and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) will be provided and applied in the context of active clinical research.
 

In addition, the analyst will receive specialized exposure to advanced physiologic monitoring methods, including cerebral oxygenation monitoring and contemporary hemodynamic and blood pressure monitoring platforms. The role will also involve participation in data organization, interpretation, and presentation, with opportunities to assist in the preparation of scientific manuscripts, abstracts, and conference presentations.
 

This position is particularly well suited for recent graduates or early-career professionals seeking rigorous, hands-on experience in clinical investigation prior to graduate or professional training in medicine, public health, neuroscience, or related health professions.

The Clinical Research Analyst will receive close mentorship through direct collaboration with senior laboratory personnel, participation in weekly laboratory meetings, and regular one-on-one meetings with Dr. Lyman. Additional academic and professional development opportunities may arise through interdisciplinary collaborations within the Department of Neurology and with investigators at partnering institutions. The role is intended to provide not only technical research experience, but also meaningful exposure to the intellectual, operational, and collaborative dimensions of academic clinical research.
