Recruitment/Posting Title: Inaugural Director-Clinical and Data Coordinating Center
Department: Institute for Translational Medicine and Science
The successful candidate will be a national and international leader to develop, direct, coordinate and orchestrate a Center devoted to the establishment of Rutgers Health ( RH ) as a leader in performance and data coordination of multisite clinical trials and observational studies.
RH has successfully established national programs in translational research and cancer research with the successful and continued funding of both The New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science ( NJ ACTS )—an alliance among Rutgers, Princeton, NJIT and RWJBarnabas Health System, the only CTSA Hub in New Jersey—as well as the Rutgers Cancer Institute (the only NCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Program in New Jersey). These substantial programs provide unprecedented resources for the development of world-class clinical research programs across the state and beyond. The growth of clinical research across Rutgers Health has been meteoric and we are poised to expand our capabilities to include the coordination of national clinical research networks.
Rutgers Health is seeking an experienced scientist to lead the Clinical and Data Coordinating Center ( CDCC ). This individual will procure, manage and coordinate NIH-funded and industry-sponsored networks and multicenter trials and cohort studies. Additionally, he/she will leverage current staff and recruit database administrators, data managers, software developers, project managers, clinical monitors, scientists, and research administrators.
The Director will be jointly appointed as an Associate or Full Professor in an appropriate department within Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and/or School of Public Health and as a senior member of Rutgers Institute for Translational Medicine and Science ( RITMS ). Rank will be commensurate with experience. Applicants must have a M.D., Ph.D. or equivalent degree. The Director will work closely with the RITMS Director to run the CDCC effectively by streamlining operations and budgets and implementing new ideas. The CDCC Director will collaborate with clinician-scientists across Rutgers Health to identify opportunities for sponsored research, and on the submission of applications for their funding. Generous salary and start-up support are available.
Resources for the Director of Clinical and Data Coordinating Center:
The Clinical and Data Coordinating Center (CDCC) will be established within the Rutgers Institute for Translational Medicine and Science (RITMS). The Director of the CDCC will report to Dr. Reynold Panettieri, Vice Chancellor for Translational Medicine and Science. The CDCC will be provided financial management and administrative support through the RITMS. Expectantly, the CDCC will leverage the current established NJ ACTS Cores concerning Regulatory Affairs and Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Research Design. Additionally, the CDCC Director will have access to the resources and personnel of the Clinical Trials Office, a Chancellor-supported office that coordinates all aspects of clinical research through 5 clinical research units geographically located across NJ, OnCore Enterprise (a Clinical Trials Management System) and Deep6 (a NLP/AI/ML structured and unstructured cohort builder using our Epic EHR).
Startup resources will also be provided to recruit a team designed by the Director.
