Inaugural Director- Clinical and Data Coordinating Center

The successful candidate will be a national and international leader who has the skills to develop, direct, coordinate and orchestrate a Data 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 transitional 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 Center 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 exponential and we are committed to expanding our capabilities to include the coordination of national clinical research networks. To that end, we seek to recruit an experienced candidate who can accomplish this task. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Rutgers Health is seeking an experienced scientist to lead the 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. Understands and adheres to Rutgers University compliance standards. Keeps abreast of all federal, state and Rutgers University regulations, laws and policies as they presently exist and as they change or are modified. Ensures that all staff are trained and evaluated on their knowledge of and adherence to compliance policies and procedures specific to their jobs. Minimum Education/Specialty; License/Certification: M.D., Ph.D. or equivalent degree Minimum Qualifications and Experience: Candidates must have substantial experience designing and leading large, extramurally funded, multicenter clinical research network projects, involving clinical trials, cohort studies, and/or registries. They must have experience working in cross-functional study teams, including those functions necessary for successful and innovative data coordinating centers, such as data management systems and operations; reporting for data monitoring committees, clinical research coordination and clinical monitoring, and quality control procedures. Preferred Qualifications: They should have a track record of extramurally funded research in the conduct of clinical trials or cohort studies, and possibly methodologic research into approaches such as adaptive designs, methods for missing data, analytical procedures for causal inference, and statistical monitoring approaches. Startup resources will also be provided to recruit a team designed by the Director.
