Job Description
n. A key focus will be supporting a new implementation science study examining a patient support tool for individuals with metastatic and triple negative breast cancer.
The Senior Research Associate will work both independently and collaboratively to develop and execute study procedures, ensure protocol fidelity, and advance research aims across active projects. This role will prepare data for presentations, progress reports, manuscripts, and grant applications, and will play an active role in the full cycle of behavioral science research — from participant recruitment and enrollment through data collection, management, and dissemination.
Additionally, this role serves as a primary point of contact for oncologists, clinical teams, and other stakeholders, facilitating meetings to align study goals, recruitment strategies, and implementation plans. The Senior Research Associate communicates study progress, data updates, and findings to clinical teams in a clear and actionable manner, and collaborates with clinical departments to integrate behavioral and implementation science research protocols into real-world care settings.
This is not a wet lab or bench science position. Candidates with a background in behavioral science, public health, implementation science, health communication, or a related population science discipline are strongly encouraged to apply.
