Clin/Tran Research Coordinator 3

In your pivotal role as Clinical/Translational Research Coordinator III (CTRC III), you’ll join an NIH R01 comparative effectiveness study examining whether emergency-department telemental health is as effective as in-person mental health care for patients presenting with suicide risk.

In this CTRC III role, you will:

• Own regulatory and privacy/safety compliance (IRB plus CMS/Medicaid and private insurance privacy requirements).
• Work with large secondary/administrative datasets (Medicaid and private claims, plus other administrative data sources) and understand how variables from each dataset support the study questions.
• Partner with a data analyst (who will handle dataset management, processing, and statistical modeling) to organize, interpret, and present results—including helping shape tables/figures and data visualizations and preparing outputs for manuscripts/publications.
• Provide strong project management across a hybrid team with local and external collaborators.

Nice-to-have growth opportunity: interest in qualitative interviews/analysis later in the project (likely in 1–2 years).

The best fit will be someone comfortable working in mental health services research (low stigma, patient-centered mindset), with excellent writing and communication, and confidence interpreting and presenting quantitative data. Preferred background includes an MPH (an MPH/MSW would be ideal), or a master’s-level candidate with experience in healthcare claims/administrative data, suicide prevention, mental health services research, or related health services research.

Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience)
• Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in clinical research, health services research, program coordination, or a related field

Preferred Qualifications
• Master of Public Health (MPH) strongly preferred
• Demonstrated project management experience (planning timelines, coordinating stakeholders, tracking deliverables)
• Familiarity with mental health services and/or mental health services research; comfort working in a suicide-risk/behavioral health context
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to collaborate in a hybrid environment (in-person and virtual)

You will enjoy a hybrid remote work schedule, working 2 days remotely from home and 3 days in our office located 2141 Blakemore Ave. in Nashville, TN.

NOTE: INTERESTED CANDIDATES SHOULD INCLUDE A RESUME AND COVER LETTER WITH YOUR SUBMISSION.
