We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Research Coordinator. We are seeking a highly motivated Research Coordinator to support a new, multi-institutional project aimed at improving the recognition and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) through the development and implementation of electronic tools across three health systems.

The coordinator will play a central role in project management, tool development, and integration into clinical care, as well as in conducting qualitative research and workflow analyses to identify opportunities for improvement in CKD care. In addition, the Research Coordinator will contribute to related projects focused on enhancing the quality and safety of healthcare delivery, including initiatives to identify gaps in diabetes care, understand factors influencing medication nonadherence in heart failure, and develop and implement interventions to improve cardiovascular disease management.

The Research Coordinator will report to Saul Blecker, MD, MHS, faculty member in the Division of Healthcare Delivery Science in the Department of Population Health, and will work closely with collaborators Drs. Amrita Mukhopadhyay and Samrachana Adhikari, as well as other faculty in the Department of Population Health and externally.
